An engineered innate immune defense protects grapevines from Pierce disease
We postulated that a synergistic combination of two innate immune functions, pathogen surface recognition and lysis, in a protein chimera would lead to a robust class of engineered antimicrobial th...
Bacteriocins from plant pathogenic bacteria
Many bacteria produce antimicrobial substances such as nonribosomally synthesized antibiotics and ribosomally synthesized proteinaceous compounds referred to as bacteriocins. Secretion of antimicro...
Differential Susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa Strains to Synthetic Bactericidal Peptides
The kinetics of cell inactivation and the susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa subspecies fastidiosa, multiplex, and pauca to synthetic antimicrobial peptides from two libraries (CECMEL11 and CYC...
Influence of Vitis xylem fluid and xylem fluid plus cecropin on growth of Xylella fastidiosa
Colony growth of Xylella fastidiosa (UCLA ID and STL PD strains) was quantified after incubation for 48 h in xylem fluid of Vitis rotundifolia Michx. cv. Noble and Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay....
In vitro activities of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides against the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides against 10 strains of Xylella fastidiosa. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12 a...
