What is this tomato disease and how can I treat it
It is affecting all of the green tomatos. The leaves are basically fine.

I believe I have the same problem. It seems to be affecting only 3-4 varieties.

Looks like leed poisoning from a 20 gauge from about 30 yards away.

Exact same problem. It does not affect our cherry or grape tomatos but an entire patch of everything else.

Does not seem like there are any recommended treatments
for a ripening crop specifically infected with a bacterial disease. All of the suggestions here are about prevention: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/3000/3120.html That said, you could try a dilute hydrogen peroxide spray. It may not work. I have not tried it as a foliar/fruit spray, so I don't know how it affects the plants. But if you feel that you have nothing much to lose if it does not work, here are mixing proportions: http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.c...-peroxide.html
