Pectobacterium brasiliense is a bacterial pathogen primarily of potato and other vegetables and ornamentals. The earliest reports of the bacterium causing disease were from Brazil in 2004 (El-Tassa and Duarte, 2004). This pathogen was reported for the first time in Europe (Belgium) in 2012 (van der Wolf et al., 2017) https://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/119196 Should the bacterion be added in the EASIN Catalogue? Thank you

Yes I agree about adding Pectobacterium brasiliense into the EASIN catalogue as relevant emerging pathogen also for Europe.
