Analysis of the genome-wide variations among multiple strains of the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa
The Gram-negative, xylem-limited phytopathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for causing economically important diseases in grapevine, citrus and many other plant species. Despite i...
Multilocus sequence type system for the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa and relative contributions of recombination and point mutation to clonal diversity
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) identifies and groups bacterial strains based on DNA sequence data from (typically) seven housekeeping genes. MLST has also been employed to estimate the relative ...
Type I and type IV pili of Xylella fastidiosa affect twitching motility, biofilm formation and cell-cell aggregation
Xylella fastidiosa, an important phytopathogenic bacterium, causes serious plant diseases including Pierce's disease of grapevine. It is reported here that type I and type IV pili of X fastidiosa p...
Xylella fastidiosa outer membrane vesicles modulate plant colonization by blocking attachment to surfaces
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative bacteria have been studied intensively in recent years, primarily in their role in delivering virulence factors and antigens during pathogenesis. How...
