- Observation A. nosocomialis was primarily found in the Muna and Platinum tomato varieties.
- Observation S. thalpophilum was more prevalent in the Yollins and Cobra tomato varieties.
- Observation Several tomato-associated isolates carry genes for biofilm formation and plant cell wall degradation.
- Observation This is the first official report of C. populi in West African tomatoes.
- Observation Virulence-linked genes in A. nosocomialis and C. populi indicate an emerging phytosanitary risk to tomato.
- Recommendation Breeding strategies should be tailored to the microbial profiles of specific tomato hybrids and local cultivars.
