PhylochipTM HybScores of ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) from Huanglongbing (HLB)-affected citrus. The citrus plants were treated with antibiotic combinations and sampled at different times (October 2010, April 2011 and October 2011) over a year. (i) Severe HLB-like symptoms with Ct values <26, and Las bacterial titers of more than 770,000 cells per gram plant tissue; (ii) no symptoms with Ct values ≥36.0, and Las bacterial titers of less than 1,060 cells per gram plant tissue. A HybScore change of 1000 indicated a doubling in the fluorescence intensity of the OTU. PS: 5 g/tree penicillin G potassium and 0.5 g/tree streptomycin; KO: 2 g/tree oxytetracycline and 1.0 g/tree kasugamycin; and CK: water as control.
