In planta horizontal transfer of a major pathogenicity effector gene
Article Abstract:
A study conducted to determine the phylogenetically distinct Xanthomonas citri strains showed that a single pathogenicity effector that could confer a distinct selective advantage in planta might both facilitate plasmid survival following horizontal gene transfer and account for the origination of phylogenetically distinct groups of strains causing identical disease symptoms.

Effect of length of time before incorporation on survival of pathogenic bacteria present in livestock wastes applied to agricultural soil
Article Abstract:
The effect of time before soil incorporation of livestock wastes spread to land on the rate of decline of pathogenic bacteria present in the waste is determined. The results indicate that not incorporating contaminated livestock wastes into soil is a potential intervention measure that may help to limit the spread of pathogenic bacteria further up the food chain.

Inhibition of fungal and bacterial plant pathogens in vitro and in planta with ultrashort cationic lipopeptides
Article Abstract:
The activities in vitro and in planta and the modes of action of ultrashort antimicrobial lipopeptides against plant-pathogenic bacteria and fungi are investigated. They show rapid action, at low micromolar concentrations, on the microroganisms' membranes via a lytic mechanism.
