We determined partial hrpB and endoglucanase genes sequences for 30 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum and one strain of the blood disease bacterium (BDB), a close relative of Ralstonia solanacearum. Sequence comparisons showed high levels of variability within these two regions of the genome involved in pathogenicity. Phylogenetic analysis based upon sequence comparisons of these two regions revealed three major clusters comprising all Ralstonia solanacearum isolates, the BDB strain constituted a phylogenetically distinct entity. Cluster 1 and cluster 2 corresponded to the previously defined divisions 1 and 2 of Ralstonia solanacearum. Moreover, two subclusters could be identified within cluster 2. The last cluster, designated cluster 3 in this study, included biovar 1 and N2 strains originating from Africa. This recently described group of strains was confirmed to be clearly different from the other strains suggesting a separate evolution from those of both divisions 1 and 2.
