Initial bacterial canker infection probably cannot be avoided because of its mode of action of attacking already wounded, damaged leaves and other plant parts. It is believed to be primarily spread by wind and rain, and by other physical means such as equipment, insects and animals.

Canker’s first goal is to saturate the intercellular spaces with water, and then to destroy epidermal plant cell structure, by secreting cell wall degrading enzymes, toxins and extracellular polysarrharides (EPS).
