Available kit types for Clavibacter michiganensis subsp michiganensis:
BRA or SRA
The BRA assay can be used to test bacterial cultures and tissue soaks. This test is known to cross-react with Clavibacter michiganensis pv. nebraskensis and Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.
The SRA test can be used with bacterial cultures and ground leaf or stem tissue.
This assay can be used to test bacterial cultures and ground leaf or stem tissue.
This test is also commonly used for detection of Clavibacter michiganensis pv. nebraskensis, the causal agent of Goss’s wilt in corn.
This test is known to cross-react with Clavibacter michiganensis pv. insidiosus, Clavibacter michiganensis pv. nebraskensis and Clavibacter michiganensis pv. sepedonicus. These bacteria are not known to infect tomato.
