Like other members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), Mycobacterium bovis is highly clonal. After having employed the mildly discriminative spoligotyping and MLVA methods but also the highly resolving-albeit still not used in routine-NGS approaches, the objective of our study was to develop an easy and highly discriminative genotyping method for characterising M. bovis strains: MLST SNP.
