Abstract
The paper presents biology and epidemiology of the pathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum causing brown rot in economically important plant species. Particular emphasis was put on species complexicity, broad range of plants susceptible to infection and on ways of bacterial dispersion. Symptoms of infection, risk associated with the latent infection and basic methods of detection of Ralstonia solanacearum in infected plant material are described in the paper.
