Analysis of soft rot Pectobacteriaceae population diversity in US potato growing regions between 2015 and 2022
The prevalence of this specific group of <i>D. dianthicola</i>, temporally and geographically, aligns with the occurrence of blackleg and soft rot outbreaks in the northeastern US after 2014. The genomic diversity observed in <i>P. parmentieri</i> implies multiple introductions to the US from at least four distinct sources, earlier than the arrival of the predominant group of <i>D. dianthicola</i>. In contrast, <i>P. carotovorum</i> and <i>P. versatile</i> appear to be widespread, long-term endemic strains in the US.
