Comparative genomic analysis of Erwinia amylovora reveals novel insights in phylogenetic arrangement, plasmid diversity, and streptomycin resistance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Erwinia amylovora is a destructive pathogen of Rosaceous plants and an economic concern worldwide. Herein, we report 93 new E. amylovora genomes from North America, Europe, the Mediterranean, and New Zealand. This new genomic information demonstrates the existence of three primary clades of Amygdaloideae (apple and pear) infecting E. amylovora and suggests all three independently originate from North America. The comprehensive sequencing also identified and confirmed the presence of 7 novel plasmids ranging in size from 2.9 to 34.7 kbp. While the function of the novel plasmids is unknown, the plasmids pEAR27, pEAR28, and pEAR35 encoded for type IV secretion systems. The strA-strB gene pair and the K43R point mutation at codon 43 of the rpsL gene have been previously documented to confer streptomycin resistance. Of the sequenced isolates, rpsL-based streptomycin resistance was more common and was found with the highest frequency in the Western North American clade.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
