Xanthomonas translucens is a species of phytopathogenic bacteria. It is the causal agent of bacterial leaf streak in of wheat and cereal crop. The bacterium is transmitted as a seed-borne pathogen. The transmission rate is very low but ensures serious outbreaks in the field under suitable conditions.

The pathogen is a non-sporing, aerobic, motile, gram-negative, rod bacterium with a single polar flagellum.
