Pantoea agglomerans strains BD1274 and BD1212 were isolated from Allium cepa seeds. Strain BD1274 induced a disease symptom on a healthy onion, whereas strain BD1212 did not and remains nonpathogenic. A comparative genomic study revealed that the strains differ in their genomic compositions, particularly in the genes that confer pathogenicity.
