The 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1) from 34 strains of Pseudomonas avellanae and some strains of Pseudomonas syringae pathovars was amplified and assessed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using 10 restriction enzymes. In addition, the ITS1 region of four representative P. avellanae strains was sequenced and compared by the neighbour-joining algorithm with that of P. syringae pathovars. Two main groups of P. avellanae strains were observed that did not correlate with their origin. The ITS1 region sequencing revealed a high similarity with the P. syringae complex. One group of P. avellanae strains showed high similarity to P. s. pv. actinidiae and P. s. pv. tomato; another group showed similarity with P. s. pv. tabaci and P. s. pv. glycinea. Two strains clustered with P. s. pv. pisi. The difficulties to unambiguously classify the strains associated with hazelnut decline in Greece and Italy are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- The taxonomy of plant pathogenic bacteria in a specific phylogenetic group is currently debated, with twenty named species recognized but many strains needing reclassification based on genomic studies.
- A comprehensive taxonomic analysis suggests there are at least 50 distinct phylogenomic species within this group, with several strains misclassified at the species level, highlighting a need for updated taxonomy.
- The study includes detailed discussions on several species, proposes a new taxonomic name for one unidentified species, and provides criteria for accurate strain identification essential for future research.

pv. actinidiae (Psa), the agent causing bacterial canker of kiwifruit, has been present in the Principality of Asturias (PA), Northern Spain, since 2013, although with restricted distribution. In this study, 53 strains collected in kiwifruit orchards in PA during the period 2014-2020 were characterized by a polyphasic approach including biochemical and phylogenetic analysis.
