Bacterial diseases caused by members of the genus Xanthomonas affect agricultural crops of great importance in the world. At least 350 different plant diseases are caused by species of Xanthomonas. Important crops, such as: rice, citrus, cassava, tomato, sugar cane, passionfruit and brassicas are severely affected by bacteria of this genus. Due to its rapid propagation, handling difficulties, problems with chemical control and severity of the losses of the affected plantations Xanthomonas is a difficult obstacle for agriculture around the world. In addition, chemical control of some of these diseases is carried out using copper-based chemicals, which causes a negative impact on health and the environment. A more sustainable alternative to combat these diseases is the control of Xanthomonas by microorganisms directly or indirectly through the use of its secondary metabolites involved in biocontrol. This review is a report concerning the recent advances in the search for microorganisms for the biocontrol of several Xanthomonas that are important for the world economy.
由黄单胞菌属成员引起的细菌性疾病会影响到世界上具有重要意义的农业作物。至少有 350 种不同的植物疾病是由黄单胞菌属的物种引起的。重要的作物，如水稻、柑橘、木薯、番茄、甘蔗、百香果和 Brassicas 都受到该属细菌的严重影响。由于其快速繁殖、处理困难、化学控制问题以及受影响种植园的严重损失，黄单胞菌属对世界各地的农业来说是一个难以克服的障碍。此外，对其中一些疾病的化学控制是使用铜基化学品进行的，这对健康和环境造成了负面影响。一种更可持续的替代方法是通过使用涉及生物防治的次级代谢物直接或间接地控制黄单胞菌。本综述是一份关于为世界经济中几种重要的黄单胞菌的生物防治而寻找微生物的最新进展的报告。
