A collection of Xylella fastidiosa bacterial isolates used in a comparative genomic study of host specificity. The dataset, authored by Navdeep Kaur and shared on figshare, was last updated in April 2026. It is a 5.5 KB XLS file containing information on strains, including those from blueberry and coffee plants.
Use Cases
- Comparative genomic analysis of Xylella fastidiosa strains based on isolate metadata.
- Identifying genetic loci associated with host specificity in plant pathogens based on the described study workflow.
- Assessing virulence and phenotypic traits like biofilm formation and motility in different bacterial strains.
- Studying the role of toxin-antitoxin systems in bacterial pathogenicity and host adaptation.
Strengths
- Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.
- Focuses on a specific, high-impact pathogen (Xylella fastidiosa) with described experimental results.
- File size is 5.5 KB, ensuring quick download and easy initial inspection.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
