Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of Xylella fastidiosa Pierce's disease and oak leaf scorch pathotypes

Article Abstract:

All the strains of Xylella fastidiosa are classified under one species but the results of a DNA study on the pathogen X. fastidiosa show that the strains causing Pierce's disease (PD) and oak leaf scorch (OLS) are different. However, the strains causing the same disease are similar. A periwinkle wilt strain and two plum leaf scald (PLS) strains were used as controls. On the basis of these results a subspecies classification of X. fastidiosa has been suggested.

Survival and heat resistance of Listeria monocytogenes after exposure to alkali and chlorine

Article Abstract:

Listeria monocytogenes may be able to survive on food processing equipment that has been cleaned with alkaline detergents even if the equipment has been sterilized with heat. On the other hand, chlorine seems to reduce the bacterium's heat tolerance.
