A PCR-based method was developed for the stone fruit quarantine pathogen Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap), which provides rapid, sensitive and specific in planta detection and isolate identification. Primers specific for Xap were identified using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Simplex PCR with these primers had a limit of detection per PCR reaction of approximately 10CFU for isolate cultures and 50CFU for plant material when used on tenfold dilutions of isolate culture or genomic DNA extracted from spiked samples, respectively. The primers were adapted as a high-throughput single-step screening based on a digoxigenin-labeled DNA probe assay with a detection limit of 4×10(2)CFU from isolate cultures. A duplex-PCR method was designed that includes the pathovar-level with species-level primers based on species-specific regions of the quinate metabolic gene qumA, increasing diagnostic confidence and offering the first molecular test for all X. arboricola pathovars.

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria and fungi continuously pose a significant threat worldwide. The occurrence of polymicrobial infections, including polybacterial, polyfungal or bacteria-fungal co-infections further complicates diagnosis and treatment. Current diagnostic methods, heavily reliant on culture methods, are slow and often inefficient.

Article Synopsis
- The research used a duplex PCR method to categorize the strains, revealing high levels of resistance to the fungicide pyrimethanil, particularly in the most frequently isolated groups, B. cinerea group N (89.3% resistant) and group S (41.9% resistant).
- Genetic analysis found mutations related to resistance, with the resistant isolates exhibiting strong reproduction and virulence traits, highlighting the need for growers to be aware of the persistent resistance in Botrytis populations.

Background: Salmonella Infantis is an emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen worldwide due to the acquisition of a megaplasmid, plasmid of emerging Salmonella Infantis (pESI). Reported initially in poultry, the distribution of pESI-harboring S. Infantis in other food types, including seafood, is unknown.

The substitution of ingredients with Salmonidae, particularly , has led to widespread reports of financial losses and health risks globally, emphasizing the urgent need for the development of a rapid and precise method for species identification. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel method for the rapid screening of Salmonidae ingredients and the accurate detection of simultaneously using multiplex real-time PCR coupled with melting curve analysis. Specifically, primer sets specific for and Salmonidae were cross-confirmed.
