Xanthomonas cucurbitae is a gram-negative plant pathogen in the family Xanthomonadaceae that causes bacterial spot on cucurbit crops including squash and pumpkin. Like other Xanthomonas species, it produces yellow xanthomonadin pigments and is spread by rain splash and contaminated plant material. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

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.
