Abstract
Repetitive sequence based-PCR fingerprints based on REP primers allow a classification of plant pathogenic Pseudomonas spp. that supports most of the recognised species. The classification also supports a pathovar-based system but indicates that some clusters of strains were isolated from unrelated hosts. Standardisation of methods is essential, and improved DNA extraction methods may be necessary before identification can be made based on comparisons with a database.
