German. The former phenotypic study of Erwinia amylovora (Vantomme et al. 1982) was extended with a colletion of 54 Erwinia amylovora strains from a broad plant and geographic origin. From the 85 phenotypic features studied, 72 (85 per cent) were present in at least 90 per cent of the strains. Only 49 (58 per cent) of the features were shared by all strains. Thirty-eight strains were also examined by the API 20E system. The API 20E code numbers for E. amylovora are unique and, combined with an immature (green) pear test, may be used for an accurate identification of Erwinia amylovora
