Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes disease on a variety of plants.[1] Gram-positive bacteria characteristics include small irregular rods, lateral flagella, the ability to persist in aerobic environments, and cells containing catalase. In the interest of studying pathogenicity in plants, this species is broken down further into pathovars, which help to better describe the pathogen.[2]
