Would any of these beneficial organisms knock out the bacteria that causes stem canker? I don't know the name of the bacteria, but it's very persistent, and spread thru a subsequent batch of potting mix by re-using the bags which had been stored empty and dry between seasons

I'm thinking I might need to sterilise the soil in the garden beds where the infected soil ended up, but I hate to do it since it will knock out the good as well as the bad I will sterilise all the bags this time before buying new potting mix, lesson learned the hard way
