Details
| Description | Erwinia psidii is a Gram-negative bacterium and a phytopathogen of the Common Guava (Psidium guajava),causing rot in branches, flowers and fruits. Recently it was demonstrated that this species produces two acyl-homoserine lactones (S-(-)-N-hexanoyl-and N-heptanoyl-homoserine lactone), widely recognized bacterial quorum sensing signaling substances, and employed in bacterial cell-to-cell communication systems. There is no data found in genome and 221 Nucleotide sequences are available for this ogranism.

| Synonyms | Erwinia psidii(Neto et al.1988) |
| Habitat/Source | Erwinia psidii was first detected in Valindos and Pindamohangaba counties of Sao paulo state,Brazil. The occurrence of E. psidii is limited to Brazil. |
