Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans is one of the causal agents of common bacterial blight of bean. This disease is worldwide distributed and is responsible for serious economic damages to the bean production. This justifies that this pathogen is classified in quarantine lists in countries that are still disease-free. Disease control only relies on prophylactic measures that are partially inefficient. The development of new and innovative control methods depends on a better knowledge of the bacterial determinants of the host colonization, pathogenicity and transmission by seeds.
