Microbial consortia of bacteria and fungi with focus on the lichen symbiosis (2009, neutral): “Similar to the plant rhizosphere (Berg et al., 2005), lichens could represent a niche for diversification of bacteria, some of which could eventually evolve to become opportunistic human pathogens.”
The versatility and adaptation of bacteria from the genus Stenotrophomonas (2009, background): “, which is consistent with the elevated antibiotic and bactericidal selection pressure that is found in their biotopes”
Stepwise screening of microorganisms for commercial use in biological control of plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria (2011, background): “Candidates able to grow at human body temperature are discarded because this characteristic may hinder registration (Berg et al., 2005).”
Prospecting the characteristics and significance of the phyllosphere microbiome (2018, background): “Having a similar ecological niche to colonize as compared to the phytopathogens, they are the most suitable candidates as potential biocontrol agents (Berg et al. 2005).”
The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms. (2013, background): “These so-called opportunistic or facultative human pathogens have been associated with significant case fatality ratios in patients in Europe and Northern America, and their impact on human health has increased substantially over the past two decades (Berg et al., 2005; Teplitski et al., 2011).”
Biotechnological Applications of Bacterial Endophytes (2014, background): “Like among rhizosphere bacteria [44, 45], (potential) human-pathogenic bacteria are also found among endophytes [15], which is a possible health concern.”
Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, neutral): “Oppor-tunistic pathogens usually thriving in soil, such as Burkholderia cepacia , Ochrobactrum intermedium and Stenotrophomonas mal-tophilia (Berg, Eberl and Hartmann 2005; Johnning et al. 2013), may be intermediary organisms that can act as recipients of resistance genes from human-associated…”
Spectrum and Population Dynamics of Bacterial Root Endophytes (2006, background): “In general, mechanisms of pathogenicity and antagonism are very similar, and sometimes only the expression of one metabolite or total bacterial numbers dictates whether the bacteria are harmful or harmless (Suckstorff and Berg 2003; Berg et al. 2006 ).”
Plant host habitat and root exudates shape soil bacterial community structure (2008, background): “Bacteria considered as human opportunistic pathogens, such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Enterobacter cloacae (Berg et al., 2005) or vine phytopathogenic bacteria, such as Xylophilus ampelinus (Grall and Manceau, 2003), were able to assimilate root exudates and to proliferate in the rhizosphere o”
Plant growth-promoting bacteria in the rhizo- and endosphere of plants: Their role, colonization, mechanisms involved and prospects for utilization (2010, background): “This knowledge necessitates careful selection of inoculant strains to be applied and released into the environment (Berg et al., 2005a).”
The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes (2015, background): “Opportunistic pathogens play a special role because plants, including the endosphere, are an important reservoir for emerging opportunistic pathogens (276, 277).”
