The Cucurbit Pathogenic Bacterium Acidovorax citrulli Requires a Polar Flagellum for Full Virulence Before and After Host-Tissue Penetration
Acidovorax citrulli causes seedling blight and bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits. Previous reports demonstrated the contribution of type IV pili (T4P) to A. citrulli virulence and to systemic infection of melon seedlings. Microfluidic flow-chamber assays demonstrated the involvement of T4P in surf...
