Citrus canker (CC), caused by one of the most destructive subfamilies of the bacterial
phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri (Xcc), poses a serious threat to the …

Bacteria of the Xanthomonas genus are mainly phytopathogens of a large variety of crops of
economic importance worldwide. Xanthomonas spp. rely on an arsenal of protein effectors …

Motivation Type-III secretion systems are utilized by many Gram-negative bacteria to inject
