The enterobacterium Erwinia amylovora is a devastating plant pathogen causing fire blight disease in apple, pear, and many kinds of Rosaceae. Diverse approaches have been applied to control the pathogen. There are several reasons for a renewed impetus for the development of new control methods, including bacterial resistance to antibiotic. We summarize the knowledge on two conventional treatments (copper compounds and streptomycin), biological control and new chemical technologies for controlling fire blight.
