Abstract: Molecular interactions between bacterial pathogens and plants: selected contributions to the 14th International Conference on Plant Pathogenic Bacteria (14th ICPPB)'The Impact of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria on Global Plant Health' was the slogan accompanying the 14 th International Conference on Plant Pathogenic Bacteria (ICPPB), held from 3 rd to 8 th July, 2022 at Assisi (Italy), which attracted 196 delegates from 37 countries across most continents.Among the 9 scientific sessions of the conference program, the session: Molecular interaction Between Bacterial Pathogens and Plants has been proposed as argument for the present Research Topic, a subject that attracted the attention of many plant pathologists.This Research Topic is dedicated to Nicola Sante Iacobellis co-Chair of the 14 th ICPPB and Guido Sessa co-Editor of the present Research Topic who prematurely passed away (Figure 1).What factors determine and modulate the pathogenicity and virulence of phytopathogenic bacteria in plants is a main question that phytobacteriologists have asked themselves whilst studying plant-bacterium interactions.The tremendous increase in the number of wholegenome sequences of bacterial strains and the powerful tools now available for interpreting sequencing data are providing essential information to answer to this question.The attention is mainly focused on type-3 effectors (T3Es) which in the form of a cocktail are injected into Frontiers in Plant Science frontiersin.
