Detection and identification of bovine tuberculosis and its differentiation from micobacteriosis is fundamental during diagnoses. That is why mycobacteria laboratories improvement becomes essential in public health and veterinary medicine services. The objective of the present research is to differentiate Mycobacterium bovis and nontuberculous mycobacterias in isolates cultured from domestic and wildlife species from seven Argentinean provinces during 2004-2008. Differentiation was based on biochemical tests, phenotypic characteristics and M. bovis spolygotyping. Biochemical and phenotypic identification resulted in 20 M. bovis strains, 18 of them were confirmed by spolygotyping, and 34 nontuberculous mycobacteria strains. Thirteen species were characterized and all of them were grouped considering biological risk and pathogenic potential reported in humans and/or animals. Here we have reached advances in tuberculosis and micobacteriosis diagnoses in veterinary medicine. In this area diagnoses are often based on micro and macroscopic observation of the tubercles and skin test results. These advances are not minor as zoonotic tuberculosis is still a public health problem in Latin America.
