Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle, is also a pathogen for human and other mammals. In this study, 406 cows were screened for bTB by both single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin (SICCT) test and IFN-gamma assay. 135 M. bovis were isolated from 31 SICCT and IFN-gamma double-positive cows in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. Spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR were evaluated for genotyping, and 4 and 7 genotypes were identified, respectively. A new combination of nine MIRU-VNTR loci was most discriminative for M. bovis clones from Xinjiang. Interestingly, two new spoligotypes (SB1903 and SB1904) and special repeat numbers of three loci (ETR-D, QUB 1895 and QUB 3336) were discovered in this study. These results indicated a specific epidemic conservation in Xinjiang, China. M. bovis strains with the unique genotypes were isolated from the herds maintaining parent cows imported from the bTB-free countries, suggesting a possible transmission from the local breed of Xinjiang brown cattle.
