A new bacterial disease on Mandevilla sanderi, caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi: Lessons learned for bacterial diversity studies
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 78 (23), 8492-8497
Abstract: Leaf lesions of Mandevilla sanderi were shown to be caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi. While BOX fingerprints were similar for P. savastanoi isolates from different host plants, plasmid restriction patterns and sequencing of plasmid-located pathogenicity determinants revealed that Mandevilla isolates contained similar plasmids distinct from those of other isolates. A repA-based detection method was established.
