Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria is a gram-negative bacterium causing bacterial leaf spot on peppers and tomatoes. It induces symptoms like leaf spots, fruit spots, and stem cankers, with defoliation and misshapen fruit. Effective control involves removing dead plant material and using chemical applications, as the bacterium cannot persist in soil for long. The classification is in flux, proposing X. euvesicatoria for X. campestris pv. vesicatoria. The bacterium primarily affects tomatoes and peppers, with strains capable of infecting both or specific to one. Symptoms include water-soaked lesions on leaves, leading to necrosis and defoliation.
