Abstract: Xanthomonas is an important genus of plant-pathogenic bacteria that affects agronomic and economically important crops, causing serious economic losses. In fact, several Xanthomonas species are considered regulated quarantine pests. Due to the lack of effective control measures to treat plant-pathogenic bacteria, innovative control tools are needed to carry out integrated disease management. In this regard, bacteriophages (phages), viruses of bacteria, constitute a promising biocontrol tool. In this work, we report the isolation and characteriz...
