Default Cucumber Beetles and Maple Trees

I need someone to tell me whether or not the bacteria spread by cucumber
beetles can also cause damage to autumn blaze red maples.

My maple got infested with spotted cucumber beetles this season and some of
the leaves are about half eaten. And now some of the leaves are displaying
wilt-like symptoms. I've read that bacterial wilt is usually terminal for
trees, so
I'm scared.

Anybody know for sure?

TIA
