A shift in circulating rotaviral genotypes among hospitalized neonates

Abstract: In neonates, rotavirus (RV) infection is generally nosocomial. The control of rotaviral infection within hospital settings is challenging due to prolonged shedding of the virus and contamination of the surrounding environment. There are few studies that have reported asymptomatic infection within neonates. In this study, neonates were screened for RV infection and possible clinical manifestations that may play a role in RV acquisition were analysed. Stool samples were collected from 523 hospitalized neonates a… Show more

“…Fluctuations in the distribution of the predominant rotavirus genotypes have been reported worldwide [ 18 , 22 26 ]. These fluctuations may be driven by herd immunity, and the emergence of a particular genotype may reflect the presence of a sufficiently large population of susceptible children [ 22 ].…”

“…For G and P genotyping, multiplex PCR was performed using a master mix (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA). Primers for the detection of the G1, G2, G3, G4, G8, G9, G10, and G12 genotypes were used as described previously [ 15 , 18 ]. For P genotyping, primers for the detection of P[4], P[6], P[8], P[9], P[10], and P[11] were used [ 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Newborns are highly susceptible to enteric pathogens, particularly during the first year of life ( Liu et al, 2012 ; Lanata et al, 2013 ; Darmstadt et al, 2014 ; Miller et al, 2016 ). Most common enteric pathogens linked to neonatal morbidity and mortality include Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), Group B streptococci (GBS), Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella , Rotavirus, and Cryptosporidium parasites ( Abba et al, 2009 ; Stoll et al, 2011 ; Pedersen et al, 2014 ; Bergin et al, 2015 ; Shane et al, 2017 ; Reju et al, 2022 ; Yoon et al, 2022 ). These pathogens can gain entry orally, invade the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and lead to further blood or systemic infections in neonates.…”
