Complete genome of five Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca

We present the complete genome sequences of five strains of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca ST80, a bacterial plant pathogen that has spread throughout the Americas, as well as in various European countries. These strains were isolated from different plant hosts, including Olea europaea (XYL1961 and IXF 3.1-SC2), Prunus dulcis ( IAS-XYL1513-4 and IAS-XYL1518), Lavandula agunstifolia (IVIA11529). We used a combination of long and short-read technologies for whole genome sequencing, and the taxonomic assignment at the subspecies level was determined through MLST analysis, which involved seven housekeeping genes (Yuan et al., 2010)
