Abstract
We report the isolation and determination of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) in tomato plants grown in greenhouses in the Azapa Valley with symptoms consistent in bacterial canker. Determination was based on growth on selective media and serological tests. This is the first record of Cmm in the Azapa valley.
