Genus-targeted markers for the taxonomic identification and monitoring of coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species.

The Staphylococcus genus comprises multiple pathogenic and opportunistic species that represent a risk to public health. Epidemiological studies require accurate taxonomic classification of isolates with enough resolution to distinguish clonal complexes. Unfortunately, 16 S rRNA molecular analysis and phenotypic characterization cannot distinguish all species and do not offer enough resolution to assess intraspecific diversity.

Microbial-Based Biofungicides Mitigate the Damage Caused by f. sp. Race 1 and Improve the Physiological Performance in Banana.

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) is the most limiting disease in this crop. The phytosanitary emergency caused by FWB since 2019 in Colombia has required the development of ecofriendly control methods. The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of microbial-based biofungicides against FWB caused by f.

Genome Sequence Data Reveal at Least Two Distinct Incursions of the Tropical Race 4 Variant of Fusarium Wilt into South America.

The global banana industry is threatened by one of the most devastating diseases: Fusarium wilt of banana. Fusarium wilt of banana is caused by the soilborne fungus f. sp.

Close-Range Thermography and Reflectance Spectroscopy Support In Vitro and In Vivo Characterization of spp. Isolates from Mango Fruits.

causing anthracnose in mango is known for its variable virulence that may have an effect on disease development and efficacy of management strategies. In this study, we characterized spp. isolated from mango fruits under in vitro and in vivo conditions using close-range thermography and reflectance spectroscopy.

Draft Genome Sequence and Assembly of a Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Isolate Collected from the Andean Region in Colombia.

We report a draft genome assembly of the causal agent of tomato vascular wilt, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. isolate 59, obtained from the Andean region in Colombia.
