Table. Genotypic characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from 2 elephants, Nepal*.

Source	Spoligotype† binary code	SIT	Clade	gyrA‡
Elephant A	1110000111111111111111001111000010111111111	New§	New§	T231C

*EAI5, East African–Indian 5; SIT, spoligo-international type.
†Spoligotype was determined as previously described by Brudey et al. (6). 
‡Mutation in a partial sequence of gyrA. The gyrA sequence of both elephant isolates had a synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism from T to C at position 231.
§Not found in the international spoligotyping database (SpolDB4).
