Taxonomic lists—that is, lists that give a set of species (eg, Yersinia pestis) or broader
taxonomic groups (eg, SARS-related coronavirus) to be regulated—are a common tool used …

Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) strains are bacteria that colonize plant
xylem tissue and cause vascular wilt diseases. However, individual strains vary in host …

Sublineages (SLs) within microbial species can differ widely in their ecology and
pathogenicity, and their precise definition is important in basic research and for industrial or …

The new release of the All-Species Living Tree Project (LTP) represents an important step
forward in the reconstruction of 16S rRNA gene phylogenies, since we not only provide an …

Klebsiella pneumoniae multidrug-resistant (MDR) high-risk clones drive the spread of
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) associated infections, resulting in limited therapeutic options …

Xanthomonads, including Xanthomonas and Xylella species, constitute a large and
significant group of economically and ecologically important plant pathogens. Up-to-date …

Diseases have a significant cost to agriculture. Findings from analyses of whole-genome
sequences show great promise for informing strategies to mitigate risks from diseases …

Xanthomonas translucens pv. translucens (Xtt) is a global barley patho-gen and a concern
for resistance breeding and regulation. Long-read whole genome sequences allow in-depth …

Early disease detection is a prerequisite for enacting effective interventions for disease
control. Strains of the bacterial plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa have recurrently spread to …

The genus Xanthomonas has been primarily studied for pathogenic interactions with plants.
However, besides host and tissue-specific pathogenic strains, this genus also comprises …
