Multilocus Sequence Typing of Strains of Bacterial Spot of Lettuce Collected in the United States.

Abstract excerpt

Studies on genetic diversity and recombination in bacterial pathogens are providing a better understanding of the mechanisms shaping bacterial diversity, which can affect disease control. Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians, causal agent of bacterial leaf spot of lettuce, is a threat to the worldwide lettuce industry. We examined the genetic variation within a sample of 83 strains from California, Florida, and...
