TIPIFICAÇÃO GENÉTICA, ATRAVÉS DA TÉCNICA DE SPOLIGOTYPING, DE ISOLADOS DE MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS EM ANIMAIS ABATIDOS NA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE SALVADOR, BAHIA, BRASIL

USE OF SPOLIGOTYPING FOR GENETIC TYPING OF MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS ISOLATES
FROM SLAUGHTERED ANIMALS IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF SALVADOR, BAHIA,
BRAZIL. Tuberculosis is an infectious chronic disease that affects mammals and birds and
constitutes a serious problem for public and animal health. Pulmonary and mediastinic lymph
node lesions of 43 animals slaughtered in 3 slaughterhouses in the metropolitan region of the city
of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, were analyzed with the objective of obtaining a molecular survey of
the disease in bovines slaughtered in slaughterhouses in the state. Seven isolates of Mycobacterium
bovis were identified through the spoligotyping technique and classified into 3 different spoligotypes
(SB1055, SB0120, SB0268), described in Brazil and in many areas worldwide. The results indicate
that the diagnostic method utilized may contribute to the creation of a database for the
epidemiologic study of bovine tuberculosis in the state of Bahia.
