The present study was conducted to isolate, characterize and identify the Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae obtained from infected rice foliar samples. Plant samples were collected from one of the major agro-ecological rice zones in Sekinchan, Peninsular Malaysia.

There were 15 isolates obtained and subjected to different biochemical tests. KOH test was conducted to re-confirm gram staining of all isolates.
