Résumé

Assessment of the taxonomy and diversity of Xanthomonas strains causing bacterial leaf spot of lettuce(BLSL), commonly referred to as Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians, has been a long-lasting issue whichheld back the global efforts made to understand this pathogen. In order to provide a sound basis essentialto its study, we conducted a polyphasic approach on strains obtained through sampling campaigns oracquired from collections. Results of a multilocus sequence analysis crossed with phenotypic assaysrevealed that the pathotype strain does not match the description of the nomenspecies provided byBrown in 1918. However, strain LMG 938 = CFBP 8686 does fit this description. Therefore, we proposethat it replaces LMG 937 = CFBP 2538 as pathotype strain of X. campestris pv. vitians.Then, whole-genome based phylogenies and overall genome relatedness indices calculated on taxo-nomically relevant strains exhibited the intermediate position of X. campestris pv. vitians between closelyrelated species Xanthomonas hortorum and Xanthomonas cynarae. Phenotypic profiles characterized usingBiolog microplates did not reveal stable diagnostic traits legitimizing their distinction. Therefore, we pro-pose that X. cynarae Trébaol et al. 2000 emend. Timilsina et al. 2019 is a later heterotypic synonym ofX. hortorum, to reclassify X. campestris pv. vitians as X. hortorum pv. vitians comb. nov. and to transferX. cynarae pathovars in X. hortorum as X. hortorum pv. cynarae comb. nov. and X. hortorum pv. gardnericomb. nov. An emended description of X. hortorum is provided, making this extended species a promisingmodel for the study of Xanthomonas quick adaptation to different hosts
