The phytopathogenic genus Xanthomonas comprises numerous species and pathovars described primarily on their host and tissue specificities. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , which is non-phytopathogenic and taxonomically closely related to Xanthomonas , has undergone several classifications from Pseudomonas to Xanthomonas and finally to Stenotrophomonas . In this study, we have investigated the phy...

Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) constitutes one of the most important Ca(2+)/CaM-regulated transcription factor families in plants. Nevertheless, the phylogeny, protein interaction network, and role in nonhost resistance of plant CAMTAs are not well understood. In this study, 200 CAMTA genes were identified from 35 species representing four major plant lineages. The CAMTA gen...

De Ley, J. (State University, Ghent, Belgium), and S. Friedman. Similarity of Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas deoxyribonucleic acid. J. Bacteriol. 89:1306-1309. 1965.-Pronounced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization was detected with the DNA-agar method within the group of Xanthomonas and between Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas. Sheared, denatured C(14)-DNA from X. pelargonii hybridized 80 to 100% ...

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. fragariae was described in 2001 as the causal agent of strawberry bacterial leaf blight. We report here the first draft whole-genome sequences of five X. arboricola pv. fragariae isolates from Italy and France.

Background Portugal has a strong tradition of conventional western healthcare. So it provides a natural case study for the relationship between Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM) and Western Medicine (WM). This work aims to test the relationship between CAM and WM users in the diagnosis and treatment stages and to estimate the determinants of CAM choice.   Methods The forth Portuguese Nat...

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is frequently used in Portugal and it contributes to the improvement of people’s health. CAM and Western Medicine (WM) are taken as complements both in the diagnosis and the treatment stage. The Portuguese health system is able to generate certified CAM professionals but the provision of CAM care and services is not included in the national health sy...

CAM therapies have become increasingly  popular in pediatric populations. phytotherapy are the most common CAM used in children. Yet, little is known about children’s preferences for CAM. But It is expected to become more widely integrated into the modern medical system, including the medical curriculum.The aim of this study is to introduce the prevalence and characteristics of CAM use in Pedia...

We report the annotated genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni strain Xap33, isolated from almond leaves showing bacterial spot disease symptoms in Spain. The availability of this genome sequence will aid our understanding of the infection mechanism of this bacterium as well as its relationship to other species of the same genus.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas campestris LMG 8031, for which nearly no genetic information is available, despite its good xanthan-producing properties. We performed an Illumina-based sequencing approach of LMG 8031. The genome revealed a 5.0-Mb chromosome having 4,434 coding sequences and a G+C content of 65%.

Citrus canker is a citrus disease species that created by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp.citri. Many citrus, such as oranges, lime, and grapefruit are affected by the infectious bacteria and stems, leaves and fruits are experiencing loss. In this experiment antibacterial effects of five kinds of antibiotics including ampicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, penicillin, streptomycin, Crono...
