I wish there was but I don't think there is any resistance available for bacterial wilt in cucumbers.

There is a bacterial wilt resistant pickling type, County Fair. Hard to find, but a nice cuke. Not much help if you need an Asian type, though.
Cornell is working on this in slicers, and they do have some strains; unfortunately none has been picked up for commercial sale, so all that's available is small quantities for trial with a non-propagation agreement.
If I understand correctly, this resistance will only work in a hybrid, as it's tied to some negative traits that will make the seed useless if it has the trait from both parents.
