Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), the bacteria responsible for citrus canker, is widely distributed worldwide and causes severe losses to the citrus industry. Understanding the emergence and spread of Xcc requires reliable strain identification and tracking methods. This study aimed to develop a robust multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Xcc. METHODS AND RESULTS: 123 Xcc strains from diverse...
