We report the isolation of Mycobacterium orygis, a member of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), from two black bucks (Antelope cervicapra) and one spotted deer (Axis axis) from the Guindy National Park forest range in Chennai, India. Lung tissue and lymph node samples collected during post-mortem examination were processed using NaOH method and cultured in solid and liquid media. DNA extracted from the cultured isolates was used to amplify the mpt64 gene by specific primers and the band visualized at 240 bps confirmed the isolates as a member of MTBC. Further examination of these isolates by spoligotyping and whole-genome sequencing confirmed the isolates as M. orygis and the phylogenetic tree revealed their well-clustered position with other M. orygis isolates around the globe. The deletion of RD7-RD10, RDOryx_1, RDOryx_4, RD12Oryx, RD301 and RD315 further substantiated these isolates as M.orygis. The exact source of infection in animals was untraceable and the pairwise comparison of the genomes based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms difference did not detect any events of transmission within the affected animals. Nevertheless, it would be wise to take into account the environment where there exists a high chance of transmission due to the increased human-animal interaction. Since it is well known that the pathogen is capable of causing infection in both human and animal hosts, systematic surveillance and screening of spotted deer, black buck as well as humans in the vicinity is essential for successful implementation of the One Health approach.
