Detection of recombination events in Xylella fastidiosa genomes of different Spanish strains. 3rd European conference on Xylella fastidiosa and XF-ACTORS final meeting, [Poster presentation] 84.Abstract
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) has the capacity of uptaking extracellular DNA from the environment and incorporate it into its genome by homologous recombination, process known as Natural Competence. The process of genetic acquisition and recombination of extracellular DNA could be related to the acquisition of new traits such as antibiotic resistance and virulence factors, giving rise to the origin of new pathotypes. We took a step forward in comparative genomics analysis of Spanish populations of Xf by determining the complete genome of several isolates from Alicante, Mallorca and Ibiza and established potential recombination events that may have occurred with isolates from other places in the world.
