------- 16 isolates associated with bacterial wilt of Eucalyptus sp. in Colombia were identified as R. solanacearum [phylotype II sequevar unassigned]. This strain was also pathogenic to tomato and eggplant following inoculation. However, pathogenicity tests on Eucalyptus were unsuccessful.

------- Genetic diversity of 65 isolates from banana (AAA) and plantain (AAB) growing regions was determined. Isolates from the central region (i.e. Eastern plains and Andes and the northwest region (i.e. Urabá and a few strains from Magdalena were identified as R. solanacearum [phylotype IIB sequevar 4]; Isolates from the north coast region (Magdalena and a few strains from Urabá) were identified as R. solanacearum [phylotype IIA sequvar 6]. Only [PIIB-4] isolates from plantain in the central region caused bacterial wilt following inoculation into tomato.
