Types of Xanthomonas campestris
(pv. means pathovar, a type of classification based on the host plant that is attacked by Xanthomonas campestris)
The former X. c. pv. citri, which causes citrus canker, was reclassified as X. axonopodis in 1995. In 2006, the species designations for X. c. pv. citri and X. c. pv. malvacearum were revised to xes. citri and these pathovars are now referred to as subspecies.
