Abstract
The entrance of phytopathogenic bacteria into host tissues is a comparatively simple process. Unlike many pathogenic fungi they are incapable of active penetration of protective surfaces and gain access to the host tissues either by active invasion of unprotected surfaces, e.g. non-cutinized areas or wounds, or by passive conveyance, in water, through natural openings, e.g. stomata, hydathodes.
