Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum has been causing an epidemic of Moko disease in Ecuador since early 2024. Here, we announce the publication of seven complete genome sequences from isolates belonging to the phylotype IIB sequevar IIB-4 and subclade IIB-4C/IIB-4E. Their genome megaplasmid is predicted to contain a class D beta-lactamase gene.
