Disease-associated shifts were limited to specific soil-compartment combinations (rhizosphere soil B). Key rhizosphere bacterial taxa (\n                      <jats:italic>Acinetobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic>Chryseobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) remained largely stable across plant health states. Instead, disease effects are confined to shifts among rare or conditionally detected ASVs. Mapping cultured isolates to amplicon sequence variants demonstrated that most antagonists corresponded to low-abundance members of the tomato microbiome (including\n                      <jats:italic>Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces<\/jats:italic>\n                      , etc.), with their distribution shaped primarily by soil and plant compartment rather than disease.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      These findings indicate that effective biocontrol candidates are defined less by abundance than by their resilience and function within plant-associated microbial communities.
