  • - From 2012 to 2019, coffee plants in Minas Gerais, Brazil, displayed various disease symptoms like leaf blight and shoot tip dieback, indicating a bacterial infection affecting young plants.
  • - Researchers isolated the bacteria responsible for the disease from symptomatic plants and confirmed its pathogenicity by successfully infecting healthy coffee plants in controlled conditions, satisfying Koch's postulates.
  • - Genetic analysis through 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the isolated bacteria were closely related to previously identified strains, with 99.4% similarity, underlining the importance of additional genetic data for proper species confirmation.
