Specificity of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) against strains of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (n = 87), other Xanthomonas species (n = 47), and other bacterial species related with stone fruits (n = 14).
Fig 1.
Sensitivity of the lateral flow immunoassay in spiked samples.
Plant extracts of four Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni hosts were inoculated with serially dilutedf suspensions of the strain IVIA 3162.1. Bacterial concentrations are indicated as CFU ml-1. A non-spiked negative control is indicated as C-.
