Variability within a clonal population of Erwinia amylovora disclosed by phenot...
Mendes, Rafael J.; Silva, M.C.A.; Luz, J.P.; Tavares, Fernando; Santos, ConceiçãoBackground Fire blight is a destructive disease of pome trees, caused by Erwinia amylovora, leading to high losses of chain-of-values fruits. Major outbreaks were registered between 2010 and 2017 in Portugal, and the first molecular epidemiological characterization of those isolates disclosed a clonal population with different levels of virulence and susceptibility to antimicrobial peptides. Methods This work a...
