Determination and pathogenicity of the bacterial flora associated with the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is one of the most serious pests of spruce trees. We identified 8 bacterial isolates from this pest using conventional bacteriological tests (API 20E and API 50CH strips, and VITEK system (bioMerieux) analysis) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
