	Host Insect	Classification	Localization	Function	Function Tags	Year	Edit
Candidatus Regiella insecticola 5.15 Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria	Intracellular	significantly reduced parasitoid success and increased aphid survivorship	Natural enemy resistance	2012
Streptomyces Actinomycetota	Sceliphron caementarium Hymenoptera	Bacteria		Streptomyces as antibiotic-producing symbionts, potentially helping defend their wasp hosts from pathogenic microbes	Natural enemy resistance	2011

Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa 5AT Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria		can block larval development of the solitary endoparasitoid wasps Aphidius ervi and Aphidius eadyi, rescuing the aphid hos	Natural enemy resistance	2009
Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria	Intracellular	kills parasitoid wasp larvae, allowing aphid hosts to survive and reproduce	Natural enemy resistance	2008
Candidatus Regiella insecticola Pseudomonadota	Myzus persicae Hemiptera	Bacteria		be entirely resistant to both parasitoids, Aphidius colemani and Diaeretiella rapae	Natural enemy resistance	2008
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria	Intracellular	provides protection against parasitism by the wasp, Aphidius ervi	Natural enemy resistance	2008
Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria		the effects of attack by parasitoid wasps are ameliorated by infection with H. defensa: the wasp larva dies prematurely, allowing the aphid host to develop to the adult stage and to reproduce	Natural enemy resistance	2005
Hamiltonella defensa Pseudomonadota	Acyrthosiphon pisum Hemiptera	Bacteria		source of resistance to A. ervi is infection by the facultative bacterial symbiont Hamiltonella defensa	Natural enemy resistance	2005
Pseudomonas spp. Pseudomonadota	Multiple species Coleoptera	Bacteria	Extracellular	Defense against predators	Natural enemy resistance	2002
Pseudomonas Pseudomonadota	Paederus fuscipes Coleoptera	Bacteria	Intracellular	toxins and polyketides have been implicated in the Pseudomonas-mediated protection of Paederus rove beetles against predators	Natural enemy resistance	2002
