Multilocus Sequence Typing and Whole Genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms reveal phylogenetic diversity and population structure of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Key Points

This research aims to understand the phylogenetic diversity and population structure of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri.
Developed a Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme for tracking Xcc strains.
Conducted Whole Genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (wgSNP) analysis for epidemiological insights.
Investigated geographic structuring of Xcc populations.
The MLST framework is reliable for identifying Xcc strains.
wgSNP analysis provides fine-scale resolution for epidemiological studies.
Findings highlight the evolutionary dynamics and spread of Xanthomonas citri.

Abstract

The MLST scheme developed in this study provides a reliable framework for identifying and tracking Xcc strains, while wgSNP analysis offers enhanced resolution for fine-scale epidemiological studies. Together, these approaches highlight the geographic structuring of Xcc populations, thereby advancing understanding of the pathogen's evolutionary dynamics and spread.
