Recently, these historic isolates were analysed as part of a larger project to enhance the taxonomic accuracy of our culture collection and improve Australia's biosecurity preparedness. Three isolates were collected from <i>Fragaria × ananassa</i>, initially identified as <i>Xanthomonas</i> sp., and one from <i>Medicago sativa</i>, identified as <i>Xanthomonas axonopodis</i> subsp. <i>alfalfae</i>. In this study, we employed modern phenotypic and genomic techniques to further characterize these isolates. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS biotyping and Biolog GEN III MicroPlates confirmed that they are members of the <i>Xanthomonas</i> genus but did not allow for species-level classification. Genome-relatedness indices and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that they were <i>Xanthomonas</i> and revealed that they represent three novel species. The maximum average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values observed when comparing the four isolates to all <i>Xanthomonas</i> type strains and each other were 93.9% and 50.7%, respectively. Pathogenesis assays confirmed that two of the isolates are not pathogenic to <i>Fragaria</i>, the plant from which they were isolated.
