Phylogenetic tree showing the position of the Ralstonia solanacearum sequenced in this study, relative to other sequenced strains from the same species. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using concatenated alignments of the marker genes fliC, hrpB and pehA. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model [27]. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 [28]. GenBank accession numbers are displayed within brackets. Ralstonia pickettii 12 J was used as an outgroup
