Genetic diversity among isolates of the bacterial plant pathogen Burkholderia solanacearum (synonym Pseudomonas solanacearum) race 3 biovar II of Kenya was determined by PCR with repetitive sequences (ERIC and BOX repetitive primer sets) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA digested by rare-cutting restriction endonucleases (RC-PFGE). The study comprised 46 isolates collected during 1992 from the major potato-growing regions of Kenya (45 were identified as race 3 biovar II, and 1 belonged to race 3 biovar N2) and 39 reference isolates from 19 other countries. RC-PFGE identified 10 distinct profile types among the Kenyan race 3 biovar II isolates (29 of the isolates exhibited identical profiles) and a further 27 distinct profile types among the reference isolates. ERIC and BOX primer sets were unable to differentiate race 3 biovar II isolates within the Kenyan population but differentiated a further two distinct profile types among the reference isolates. The race 3 biovar N2 isolate had a highly distinct RC-PFGE and repetitive sequence PCR profile. Statistical analysis of the data identified biogeographic trends consistent with conclusions drawn from previous studies on the origin and worldwide dissemination of race 3 biovar II isolates; however, genomic fingerprinting by RC-PFGE revealed a level of genetic diversity previously unrealized.
