Xanthomonas cynarae is a Gram-negative plant pathogen specifically associated with artichoke and cardoon plants. It causes leaf spot and systemic infections in cultivated Cynara species in Mediterranean agricultural regions. This aerobic rod spreads through rain splash and mechanical contact, leading to significant crop damage in artichoke growing areas.
