  abstract = {{A} previously unreported bacterial disease on chili pepper ({C}apsicum annuum {L}.) seedlings affecting as many as 4% of seedlings was observed in greenhouses in {C}hihuahua, {M}exico ({D}elicias and {M}eoqui counties). {I}nitial lesions appeared as irregular small spots on leaves and brown necrosis at margins tips were observed. {L}ater, the spots became necrotic with a chlorotic halo. {A}dvanced disease was associated with defoliation. {A} {G}ram negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from diseased chili pepper seedlings. {T}hree inoculation methods revealed that isolated strains produce foliage symptoms, similar to those observed in naturally infected seedlings. {P}athogenic strains that caused symptoms in inoculated seedlings were re-isolated and identified to fulfill koch's postulate. {P}olyphasic approaches for identification including biochemical assays ({API} 20{E} and 50{CH}), carbon source utilization profiling ({B}iolog) and 16{S} r{DNA}, hsp60 and rpo{B} sequence analysis were done. {E}nterobacter cloacae was identified as the causal agent of this outbreak on chili pepper seedlings.},
