Suggestions please...

Got quite a few new plants yesterday, and then today, noticed what I think could be erwinia or crown rot on one plant? This is Paph William Matthews 'Quest'. There are two+ growths, one that appears fine, and then the other that has the problem, is in spike, and has a baby growth on it which appears to also have the problem. I say possibly erwinia because before I cleaned it off and sprayed it, there was what appeared to be some seeping clear liquid on it.

Should I sacrifice the 'bad' stuff to save the good growth? They are a couple inches apart.

I've sprayed it with Physan 20, let it dry, and put rubbing alcohol on it.

And it's separate from the rest of my collection, for now. It was however in a box close to other plants on the way home.

Suggestions and thoughts appreciated. I've had some experience with pests, but nothing with bacteria or rot (yet).

Thanks all.
