PTL is a promising lead compound for developing bactericide against Xoo. PTL rapidly reacts with GSH, resulting in disturbed GSH/GSSG balance in Xoo, which causes ROS accumulation, leading to cell death. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the bactericidal effect of PTL against Xoo. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
