have told me it is a bacteria in the ground.

someone out there can help me .

I don't know if I can help, if so many plants have been affected it
does sound like a soil or soil bacteria problem. Here goes though. Try
building up the nutrients in your soil; cut up bananas (peel and all)
and dig them into the soil around the surviving tomato plants roots
(without disturbing them), add crushed egg shells and used tea leaves
too if you have any. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and anything you can
do to raise the strength of the soil can only help.
