Introduction. Colonization of the reproductive organs of pregnant women with group B streptococci (GBS; Streptococcus agalactiae) can lead to severe perinatal and neonatal pathology. In modern conditions, aside from the prevention of antenatal infection of the fetus during childbirth using antibacterial drugs, vaccination is also necessary. In this regard, surveillance of GBS genotypes is an important task. Objective. To determine the molecular genetic determinants of virulence of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from pregnant women and newborns, and to monitor the distribution of capsular polysaccharides types and pili profiles in GBS clinical isolates. Materials and methods. The study used clinical isolates of GBS (n = 420) isolated from pregnant women and newborns in 2010–2023.The bacteriological method was used for isolation of S. agalactiae. PCR method was used to determine the types of capsular polysaccharides, pili, and whether the strains belonged to the hypervirulent sequence type ST-17. Results. During 13 years of observation, the predominance of Ia, III and V genotypes of GBS capsular polysaccharides was noted both in pregnant women and in newborns. The frequency of occurrence of genotype Ib increased from 0.7 to 6.7%, genotype V from 12.1 to 24.4%, and the prevalence of genotype III decreased significantly from 41.1 to 21.1%. Hypervirulent sequence type ST-17 was detected in 6 pregnant women and 2 newborns. However, there were no signs of neonatal infection in these children. More than half of all clinical isolates of S. agalactiae had pili genotypes PI-1 + PI-2a, as well as pili genotypes PI-2a and PI-1 + PI-2b. The distribution of pili types did not change over 13 years of the surveillance period. Conclusion. Surveillance of the GBS capsular polysaccharides and pili genotypes is necessary for the development of effective preventive vaccines.
导言。B 组链球菌(GBS;无乳链球菌)在孕妇生殖器官中的定植可导致严重的围产期和新生儿病症。在现代条件下,除了使用抗菌药物预防分娩时胎儿产前感染外,接种疫苗也是必要的。在这方面,监测 GBS 基因型是一项重要任务。目的确定从孕妇和新生儿中分离出的无乳链球菌毒力的分子遗传决定因素,并监测 GBS 临床分离株的荚膜多糖类型和绒毛分布。材料和方法。研究使用了 2010-2023 年从孕妇和新生儿中分离的 GBS 临床分离株(n = 420)。采用 PCR 方法确定菌株的荚膜多糖类型、纤毛以及是否属于 ST-17 超病毒序列类型。结果显示在 13 年的观察中,孕妇和新生儿的 GBS 胶囊多糖基因型以 Ia、III 和 V 型为主。基因型 Ib 的发生率从 0.7% 上升到 6.7%,基因型 V 的发生率从 12.1% 上升到 24.4%,而基因型 III 的发生率则从 41.1% 显著下降到 21.1%。在 6 名孕妇和 2 名新生儿中检测到了高病毒性序列类型 ST-17。不过,这些儿童中没有新生儿感染的迹象。在所有临床分离的半数以上的半乳链球菌都有纤毛基因型 PI-1 + PI-2a,以及纤毛基因型 PI-2a 和 PI-1 + PI-2b。在 13 年的监测期间,纤毛基因型的分布没有发生变化。结论对 GBS 胶囊多糖和纤毛虫基因型的监测对于开发有效的预防性疫苗非常必要。

The topic of epidemiologic surveillance is one of the basic concepts in the theory and practice of epidemiologic science. In Russia, generalization of the accumulated factual material and theoretical developments have allowed us to formulate a number of provisions on the nature of the epidemic process. The pandemic of a new coronavirus infection has forced adjustments in all spheres of society, including the activities of the infectious disease epidemiological surveillance system, requiring the development and implementation of innovative solutions. Based on the experience of prompt response to the tasks set by the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors raised the problem of development and implementation of a system of molecular genetic monitoring for pathogens of emerging and re-emerging infections as a priority vector of epidemiological surveillance development.The introduction of modern molecular biological technologies for the identification of pathogens with epidemic potential, taking into account their genetic diversity, into the system of epidemiologic surveillance has been substantiated based on the experience of using platform solutions created by the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor. The strategy of genomic epidemiologic surveillance as a powerful tool to ensure readiness for response measures and management of the epidemic process by implementing and adjusting preventive and anti-epidemic measures was developed.The Russian platform for aggregation of information on virus genomes (VGARus) developed at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor as a technological, scientific, organizational and infrastructural base of genomic epidemiological surveillance, acting as an interdepartmental consortium, has been introduced into practice. The efficiency of VGARus was shown to assess the mutational variability of SARS-CoV-2, the influence of evolutionary development of circulating pathogens on the characteristics of the epidemic process, the implementation of operational and retrospective analysis of morbidity and prediction of the spread of genetic variants of pathogens.
流行病监测是流行病学理论和实践的基本概念之一。在俄罗斯,事实材料的积累和理论的发展使我们能够对流行病过程的性质做出一些规定。新型冠状病毒感染的流行迫使社会各个领域进行调整,包括传染病流行病监测系统的活动,这就要求制定和实施创新的解决方案。根据迅速应对 COVID-19 大流行所设定任务的经验,作者提出了开发和实施新发和再发感染病原体分子遗传监测系统的问题,并将其作为流行病监测发展的优先载体。根据 Rospotrebnadzor 流行病学中央研究所创建的平台解决方案的使用经验,将现代分子生物学技术引入流行病学监测系统以识别具有流行潜力的病原体,同时考虑到其遗传多样性。俄罗斯中央流行病学研究所开发的俄罗斯病毒基因组信息汇总平台(VGARus)作为基因组流行病学监测的技术、科学、组织和基础设施基础,作为部门间联合体,已被引入实践。VGARus 在评估 SARS-CoV-2 的变异性、循环病原体的进化发展对流行病过程特征的影响、对发病率进行操作性和回顾性分析以及预测病原体基因变种的传播等方面的效率得到了证明。

Introduction. Borrelia miyamotoi is a pathogen of erythema-free ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB), a disease widespread in Russia. To date, there are no generally accepted methods for B. miyamotoi genotyping. The multilocus sequencing typing (MLST) scheme of Borrelia was originally developed for B. burgdorferi, and does not have the required discrimination power for monitoring the ITBB pathogens. The objective of this study is to develop the MLST scheme for B. miyamotoi. Materials and Methods. The whole genome sequences of 10 reference strains (GenBank) were analyzed for the selection of the house-keeping loci. The MLST scheme development was based on principles published by the authors of the method. For this experiment, 81 B. miyamotoi strains and positive clinical samples were used to test the MLST scheme. Results. After analyzing the genomic data, 8 house-keeping loci were chosen for MLST, for which the PCR and sequencing primers were designed. Each MLST loci was represented by several alleles (from 4 to 7) which form 15 sequence types. The genetic diversity of pathogens isolated from ITBB patients and ticks were characterized. Discussion. Based on pairwise distances between allelic profiles, the sequence types can be classified into four groups. The first two groups are clonal complexes; the other two groups are formed by once identified sequence types. The first clonal complex unites 11 sequence types (80 or 88% of the characterized B. miyamotoi), the second consists of 2 sequence types (9 or 9.8%). The genetic differences between B. miyamotoi are associated with the sources of strains and biological isolates. The MLST based classification confirms the previously described genetic heterogeneity of B. miyamotoi populations associated with ecologically unrelated vectors of ITBB pathogens. Conclusion. The proposed MLST scheme is an appropriate tool for ITBB pathogen classification and evolutionary change characterization within clonal complexes.
导言。宫本氏包柔氏菌(Borrelia miyamotoi)是俄罗斯广泛流行的无红斑伊科蜱传包虫病(ITBB)的病原体。迄今为止,还没有公认的宫本氏包虫病基因分型方法。包柔氏菌的多焦点测序分型(MLST)方案最初是为布氏包柔氏菌开发的,不具备监测 ITBB 病原体所需的分辨能力。本研究的目的是开发宫本氏包虫病的 MLST 方案。材料与方法。分析了 10 个参考菌株(GenBank)的全基因组序列,以选择看家基因位点。MLST 方案的开发基于该方法作者公布的原则。本实验使用了 81 株宫本氏杆菌菌株和阳性临床样本来测试 MLST 方案。结果在分析了基因组数据后,选择了 8 个看家基因位点用于 MLST,并为其设计了 PCR 和测序引物。每个 MLST 位点都有多个等位基因(4 至 7 个),形成 15 种序列类型。从 ITBB 患者和蜱虫中分离出的病原体的遗传多样性得到了表征。讨论根据等位基因之间的配对距离,可将序列类型分为四组。前两组是克隆复合体;另外两组是由曾经确定的序列类型组成的。第一组克隆复合体包含 11 个序列类型(占宫本虫特征的 80% 或 88%),第二组包含 2 个序列类型(占 9% 或 9.8%)。B. miyamotoi 之间的遗传差异与菌株和生物分离株的来源有关。基于 MLST 的分类证实了之前描述的与 ITBB 病原体生态无关的媒介相关的 B. miyamotoi 群体的遗传异质性。结论提议的 MLST 方案是 ITBB 病原体分类和克隆复合体内进化变化特征描述的适当工具。

Background. Due to the wide coverage with antiretroviral therapy, the life expectancy of HIV infected people has significantly increased. Against the background of a decrease in mortality from HIV infection, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, which develop even during effective treatment, are of high importance. The overall prevalence of this pathology among HIV-infected people reaches 42.6%. The objective of the study was to research the genetic features and phylogenetic position of HIV-1 persisting in the central nervous system. Materials and methods. The clinical study group consisted of 38 patients with severe neurocognitive disorders against the background of HIV infection in stage 4B. The viral load of HIV-1 in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured using the "AmpliSens HIV Monitor-FRT" reagents kit. Sanger sequencing was performed using the AmpliSens HIV-Resist-Seq assay kit on an Applied Biosystems 3500 analyzer. Phylogenetic analysis of the pol gene fragments of HIV-1 strains (the site encoding the viral protease and part of the reverse transcriptase) was carried out using maximum likelihood method with the GTR+G nucleotide substitution model. Comparisons of the tertiary structure of viral proteins were performed according to three-dimensional models of the protease and p51 and p66 reverse transcriptase subunits obtained by homologous reconstruction using the SWISS-MODEL tools. Results. The viral load in the sample of patients with severe CNS lesions in blood plasma was 6.27 times higher than in CSF and amounted to 4.67 and 3.87 lg copies/ml respectively by median (p = 0,004). Phylogenetic analysis with the use of all available HIV-1 genomes from GenBank, which differed from the studied ones by less than 5% showed close genetic relations of viruses circulating in Chelyabinsk region, apart from strains circulating in Russian Federation, with viruses circulating in neighboring countries, in most abundance — from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, slightly less — from Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Armenia and also with strains from certain foreign countries: Poland and Germany. Phylogenetic analysis of 38 HIV-1 genomes revealed significant genetic distances between HIV isolates from blood plasma and CSF in 5 patients, 4 of whom were PWID, which may indicate an event of superinfection. The amount of independent amino acid substitutions in protease in isolates from blood plasma ranged from 1 to 3, in isolates from CSF — from 1 to 2. An amount of such substitutions in a fragment of reverse transcriptase in isolates from blood plasma ranged from 1 to 6, while in isolates from CSF, it ranged from 1 to 7. HIV isolates from blood plasma and CSF from 5 patients had differences in the tertiary structure of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase p51 subunit in amino acid positions 16–20 and 210–235. Isolates from 3 other patients differed in the tertiary structure only in amino acid positons 210–235. Isolates from 3 patients differed in t
背景。由于抗逆转录病毒疗法的广泛应用,艾滋病病毒感染者的预期寿命显著延长。在艾滋病病毒感染者死亡率下降的背景下,即使在有效治疗期间也会出现的艾滋病病毒相关神经认知障碍就显得尤为重要。在艾滋病病毒感染者中,这种病症的总发病率高达 42.6%。本研究的目的是研究持续存在于中枢神经系统中的 HIV-1 的遗传特征和系统发育位置。材料和方法。临床研究组由 38 名严重神经认知障碍患者组成,患者均为 4B 期 HIV 感染者。使用 "AmpliSens HIV Monitor-FRT "试剂盒检测血浆和脑脊液(CSF)中的 HIV-1 病毒载量。在 Applied Biosystems 3500 分析仪上使用 AmpliSens HIV-Resist-Seq 检测试剂盒进行了桑格测序。使用最大似然法和 GTR+G 核苷酸替换模型对 HIV-1 株系的 pol 基因片段(编码病毒蛋白酶和部分反转录酶的位点)进行了系统进化分析。根据使用 SWISS-MODEL 工具通过同源重建获得的蛋白酶、p51 和 p66 逆转录酶亚基的三维模型,对病毒蛋白的三级结构进行了比较。研究结果严重中枢神经系统病变患者血浆样本中的病毒载量是脑脊液样本的 6.27 倍,中位数分别为 4.67 和 3.87 lg copies/ml(p = 0,004)。利用 GenBank 中所有可用的 HIV-1 基因组进行的系统发育分析表明,车里雅宾斯克地区流行的病毒与周边国家流行的病毒之间有着密切的遗传关系,除了在俄罗斯联邦流行的毒株之外,还有来自乌克兰和吉尔吉斯斯坦的大量病毒,来自白俄罗斯、塔吉克斯坦、哈萨克斯坦和亚美尼亚的少量病毒,以及来自某些外国的毒株:波兰和德国。对 38 个 HIV-1 基因组进行的系统进化分析表明,在 5 名患者(其中 4 人是吸毒者)的血浆和 CSF 中分离出的 HIV 之间存在明显的遗传距离,这可能表明发生了超级感染事件。血浆中分离出的蛋白酶中独立氨基酸替换的数量为 1 至 3 个,而 CSF 中分离出的蛋白酶中独立氨基酸替换的数量为 1 至 2 个。血浆中分离出的逆转录酶片段中独立氨基酸替换的数量为 1 至 6 个,而 CSF 中分离出的逆转录酶片段中独立氨基酸替换的数量为 1 至 7 个。另外 3 名患者的分离物仅在 210-235 位氨基酸的三级结构上存在差异。3 名患者的分离物在 HIV-1 RT p66 亚基的非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂结合袋(NNRTI)区域的结构上存在差异。p51 亚基三级结构的固定差异至少只需要 1 个氨基酸替换就会出现。p66 亚基三级结构的改变至少需要 3 个氨基酸的替换。结论在同一患者体内,HIV-1 的微进化在不同区段平行进行,这反映在保守的 pol 基因中不同于另一区段的氨基酸替代的积累上。血浆中的病毒载量水平与脑脊液中的病毒载量水平之间存在微弱的相关性。来自车里雅宾斯克地区病人的 HIV 株系的遗传异质性表明,该地区再次发生来自其他国家的 HIV 感染的频率很高。血浆和 CSF 分离物中 HIV-1 逆转录酶三级结构的差异在某些 domens 中固定不变,这也证实了病毒在被血脑屏障隔开的组织中存活期间存在并行的 HIV 微进化,从而可以更好地理解在 HIV 引起的中枢神经系统损害期间单个氨基酸替代的固定趋势。

Relevance. Studies on model systems have confirmed the effectiveness of antisense oligonucleotides, including those that contain photoactive groups, for the modification of nucleic acids. However, this strategy has not yet found wide application due to the lack of successful methods for the cellular delivery. The development of effective preparations capable of acting on target nucleic acids in cells is an urgent task. The objective of the work is to create nanocomposites consisting of TiO2 nanoparticles, antisense oligonucleotides, and photoactive groups and to study their effect on target nucleic acids by the example of inhibition of influenza A virus replication in the cellular system. Materials and methods. Influenza virus A/Aichi/2/68 (A/H3N2), N-succinimide ether of p-azidotetrafluorobenzoic acid, TiO2 nanoparticles, and oligodeoxyribonucleotides have been used in the work. The antiviral activity of the proposed nanocomposites has been studied on the MDCK cells infected with the A/H3N2 virus. Results and discussion. Unique nanocomposites have been created, which consist of three functional components, i.e., titanium dioxide nanoparticles, antisense oligonucleotides, and the photoactive tetrafluoroarylazide group, respectively, providing penetration into cells, selective interaction with target nucleic acids, and photomodification of the targets. A significant antiviral site-specific action of the nanocomposites has been demonstrated against the influenza A virus in the cellular system, which exceeds the effect of the analogous samples that contain no photoactive groups. Conclusion. The biological activity of the created nanocomposites has been demonstrated by the example of highly effective suppression of influenza A virus replication in the cellular system. The results indicate the prospects of using the proposed drugs to affect target nucleic acids inside cells.
相关性。对模型系统的研究证实了反义寡核苷酸(包括含有光活性基团的寡核苷酸)对核酸修饰的有效性。然而,由于缺乏成功的细胞传递方法,这一策略尚未得到广泛应用。开发能够作用于细胞中目标核酸的有效制剂是一项紧迫的任务。这项工作的目的是制造由二氧化钛纳米粒子、反义寡核苷酸和光活性基团组成的纳米复合材料,并以抑制甲型流感病毒在细胞系统中的复制为例,研究它们对靶核酸的作用。材料与方法工作中使用了甲型/Aichi/2/68(A/H3N2)流感病毒、对氮基四氟苯甲酸的 N-琥珀酰亚胺醚、TiO2 纳米粒子和寡脱氧核苷酸。在感染了 A/H3N2 病毒的 MDCK 细胞上研究了所提出的纳米复合材料的抗病毒活性。结果与讨论。独特的纳米复合材料由三种功能成分组成,即二氧化钛纳米粒子、反义寡核苷酸和具有光活性的四氟化偶氮酰胺基团。实验证明,纳米复合材料在细胞系统中对甲型流感病毒具有明显的抗病毒特异性作用,其效果超过了不含光活性基团的类似样品。结论所制纳米复合材料的生物活性已通过在细胞系统中高效抑制甲型流感病毒复制的实例得到证实。这些结果表明,利用所提出的药物来影响细胞内的靶核酸具有广阔的前景。

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the need to assess the real expansion of West Nile fever (WNF) in Russia, analyze the manifestations of epizootic and epidemic processes and study the population structure of West Nile virus (WNV). Aim. To obtain objective data on the intensity of WNV circulation in certain territories of Russia and study the properties of the isolated strains of the pathogen. Materials and methods. 4564 samples of field material from 23 subjects of the Russian Federation and 1547 samples of clinical material from 12 subjects of the Russian Federation were examined. A set of laboratory diagnostic methods was used: ELISA, RT-PCR, virological, sequencing. Results. In 20 out of 1331 (1.5%) examined febrile patients, IgM antibodies to WNV were detected, including positive cases identified for the first time in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Tver and Vladimir regions. The presence of immunity to WNV was found on average in 8.6% of 11 federal subjects' population with high seroprevalence rates in Zaporozhye (24,5%), Tula (15,4%) and Kursk (11,1%) regions. Low-avidity IgG antibodies were detected in 44 (33,1%) samples from a population of 9 federal subjects. Intensive circulation of WNV lineage 2 in the epizootic cycle in the southern part of European Russia was confirmed. 12 WNV isolates were obtained, including those isolated for the first time in the Republic of Crimea, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic and the Stavropol Territory. The heterogeneity of circulating WNF causative agent's strains related to the two clades of the WNV lineage 2 formed in 2021 and 2022 was established. Conclusion. In the course of comprehensive monitoring studies, a new northern border of the WNF range was established, which as of 2022 passes through the territory of the Tver region. Data from seroepidemiological studies, including the detection of low-avidity IgG antibodies, confirm fairly intense, but undiagnosed contact of the population of the European part of Russia with the WNF pathogen. In the southern region of the European part of Russia, WNV genotype 2 predominantly circulates, belonging to at least two clades formed in 2021 and 2022.
导言。这项研究之所以具有现实意义,是因为需要评估西尼罗河热(WNF)在俄罗斯的实际蔓延情况,分析流行病和流行过程的表现形式,并研究西尼罗河病毒(WNV)的种群结构。目的是获得有关俄罗斯某些地区西尼罗河病毒传播强度的客观数据,并研究病原体分离株的特性。材料和方法。对来自俄罗斯联邦 23 个国家的 4564 份野外材料样本和来自俄罗斯联邦 12 个国家的 1547 份临床材料样本进行了检测。使用了一套实验室诊断方法:ELISA、RT-PCR、病毒学、测序。结果。在接受检查的 1331 名发热患者中,有 20 人(1.5%)检测出了 WNV IgM 抗体,其中包括卡拉恰伊-切尔克斯共和国、特维尔和弗拉基米尔地区首次发现的阳性病例。在 11 个联邦主体人口中,平均有 8.6%的人对 WNV 有免疫力,其中扎波罗热(24.5%)、图拉(15.4%)和库尔斯克(11.1%)地区的血清阳性率较高。在9个联邦主体的44个样本(33.1%)中检测到了低效价IgG抗体。在俄罗斯欧洲南部的流行周期中,WNV 2系的密集传播得到了证实。获得了 12 个 WNV 分离物,包括首次在克里米亚共和国、卡拉恰伊-切尔克斯共和国和斯塔夫罗波尔边疆区分离到的分离物。确定了与 2021 年和 2022 年形成的 WNV 2 系两个支系有关的 WNF 循环致病菌株的异质性。结论在全面监测研究过程中,确定了 WNF 范围的新北部边界,该边界从 2022 年起穿过特维尔地区。血清流行病学研究数据(包括低效价 IgG 抗体的检测)证实,俄罗斯欧洲地区居民与 WNF 病原体的接触相当频繁,但未被诊断。在俄罗斯欧洲南部地区,主要流行 WNV 基因型 2,至少属于 2021 年和 2022 年形成的两个支系。

Introduction. Despite the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the problem of vaccine prevention of this disease appears highly relevant. The emergence and widespread distribution of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern (VOC) and its sublineages has dramatically reduced the efficacy of vaccination. The possible approach to solving this problem is to develop a nasal live attenuated vaccine capable of activating humoral, mucosal, and cell-mediated immunity, providing a prolonged immune response and cross-protection against different VOCs. The aim of the study was to determine the immunization efficacy with attenuated cold-adapted Wuhan-like SARS-CoV-2 D-D2 strain against homologous and heterologous challenges. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on an animal model of coronavirus pneumonia in golden Syrian hamsters. The efficacy of immunization was assessed by comparing the dynamics of weight, viral load in organs and histopathological changes in the lungs in immunized and unimmunized animals. Results. Single intranasal immunization of golden Syrian hamsters with D-D2 strain showed its high immunogenicity: seroconversion was evident in all immunized animals. Wuhan-like D-D2 strain provides highly effective protection of hamsters against the development of productive infection and pneumonia when challenged both with ancestral virus and heterologous strains related to Delta (AY.122) and Omicron (sublineages BA.1.1 and BA.5.2) variants. Conclusion. SARS-CoV-2 attenuation is a promising strategy for the development of a highly effective nasal live COVID-19 vaccine.
导言。尽管 COVID-19 的大流行已经结束,但该疾病的疫苗预防问题仍显得非常重要。令人担忧的 SARS-CoV-2 变异体 Omicron (VOC) 及其亚系的出现和广泛传播大大降低了疫苗接种的效果。解决这一问题的可行方法是开发一种鼻腔减毒活疫苗,这种疫苗能够激活体液、粘膜和细胞介导免疫,提供持久的免疫反应和针对不同 VOC 的交叉保护。本研究旨在确定冷适配武汉样 SARS-CoV-2 D-D2 减毒株对同源和异源挑战的免疫效果。材料和方法。本研究在金色叙利亚仓鼠冠状病毒肺炎动物模型中进行。通过比较免疫和未免疫动物的体重动态、器官病毒载量和肺部组织病理学变化来评估免疫效果。结果用 D-D2 株对金色叙利亚仓鼠进行单次鼻内免疫显示了其很高的免疫原性:所有免疫动物都出现了明显的血清转换。武汉样D-D2毒株能有效保护仓鼠,使其在受到祖先病毒和与Delta(AY.122)和Omicron(BA.1.1和BA.5.2亚系)变异相关的异源毒株的挑战时不会发生生产性感染和肺炎。结论SARS-CoV-2衰减是开发高效 COVID-19 鼻用活疫苗的可行策略。

Objective: to investigate the regional peculiarities of Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage in the pediatric population and characterize the dominant serotypes of the pathogen. Materials and methods. The clinical study group consisted of 509 healthy children attending preschool institutions. Examination of nasopharyngeal samples for the detection of S. pneumonae was carried out by classical bacteriological and molecular biological methods. The serotype was determined by real-time PCR. Genome-wide sequencing of the serogroups 15 and 11 isolates and bioinformatic analysis were performed. Results. The S. pneumoniae bacterial carriers in the group of healthy children was detected in 207 children (40.7%), while the frequency of detection of S. pneumoniae in urban children living in Kazan was significantly higher than in children living in rural area and amounted to 53.4 and 31.1%, respectively (p 0.05). Among children vaccinated with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13), S. pneumoniae carriers were not detected in 57.5% of cases. There were no significant differences in the degree of nasopharyngeal contamination depending on the vaccination status. Analysis of the serotype composition indicates the predominance of vaccine serotypes (57.7%), while the share of serotypes included in the PСV-13 vaccine accounts for only 24.7%, the share of non-vaccine serotypes was 32.1%, untyped — 10.2%. In unvaccinated children, vaccine serotypes that are part of the PCV-13 and 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine prevailed (PPSV-23): 6ABCD (21%), 11 AD (15%), 14 (13%). In vaccinated children, serotypes not included in the active vaccines dominated: 15AF (17.4%), 23A (19.2%), as well as 11AD (19.6%) (11А is included in PPSV-23). The 27 Kz isolate (serotype 15C) belonged to one of the most common sequence types ST1025. The 105_Kz isolate (serotype 11D) belonged to another common sequence type ST 62. Conclusion. In order to improve epidemiological surveillance of pneumococcal infection, it is necessary to introduce the monitoring of circulating clonal complexes of dominant S. pneumoniae serogroups and analyze the genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance and virulence depending on the sequence type.
目的:研究小儿肺炎链球菌携带的地区特点,并确定病原体的主要血清型。材料和方法。临床研究组由 509 名就读于学前教育机构的健康儿童组成。采用传统的细菌学和分子生物学方法对鼻咽部样本进行检查,以检测肺炎链球菌。血清型是通过实时 PCR 测定的。对 15 和 11 血清群分离物进行了全基因组测序和生物信息学分析。结果显示健康儿童群体中有 207 名儿童(40.7%)检出肺炎双球菌细菌携带者,而喀山城市儿童检出肺炎双球菌的频率明显高于农村儿童,分别为 53.4%和 31.1%(P 0.05)。在接种 13 价肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV-13)的儿童中,有 57.5%的病例未检出肺炎链球菌携带者。接种情况不同,鼻咽部污染程度也无明显差异。血清型构成分析表明,疫苗血清型占主导地位(57.7%),而 PСV-13 疫苗中的血清型仅占 24.7%,非疫苗血清型占 32.1%,未分型血清型占 10.2%。在未接种疫苗的儿童中,主要是 PCV-13 和 23 价肺炎球菌多糖疫苗(PPSV-23)中的疫苗血清型:6abcd(21%)、11 ad(15%)、14(13%)。在接种疫苗的儿童中,主动疫苗中未包含的血清型占主导地位:15AF(17.4%)、23A(19.2%)和 11AD(19.6%)(11А包含在 PPSV-23 中)。27 Kz 分离物(血清型 15C)属于最常见的序列类型之一 ST1025。105_Kz 分离物(血清型 11D)属于另一种常见的序列类型 ST 62。结论为了改进肺炎球菌感染的流行病学监测,有必要对肺炎球菌优势血清群的循环克隆复合体进行监测,并根据序列类型分析抗生素耐药性和毒力的遗传决定因素。

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic, etiologically related to SARS-CoV-2, was the longest-lasting pandemic for an acute respiratory disease and had a significant impact on demography, economics and politics globally. Experiences with this pandemic are significant for the sustainable development of human society. A detailed analysis of these experiences in epidemic control should include details of the pathogen evolution down to the regional level. The aim of the study was to establish the regularities of the COVID-19 epidemic process in connection with the change of the pathogen genetic variants on the territory of Primorsky Krai. Materials and methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 incidence and dynamics of circulation of SARS-CoV-2 genetic variants during the pandemic of this disease (11.03.2020–05.05.2023) in Primorsky Krai was carried out. Data was gathered from the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in Primorsky Krai, the Centre of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Primorsky Krai, as well as the G.P. Somov Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Russian Federation and Russian Platform for Aggregation of Information on Virus Genomes (VGARus). In particular, 1055 nucleotide sequences of full-length SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Primorsky Krai, among which 553 were sequenced at the G.P. Somov Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology were included in analysis. Results. When analyzing the epidemic dynamics of COVID-19 in Primorsky Krai (2020–2023), 7 rises in incidence with different clinical and epidemiological symptoms depending on the genetic variants of the pathogen were identified. At the beginning of the pandemic in Primorsky Krai, as well as throughout Russia, Wuhan-like variants of SARS-CoV-2 were predominant, though later, Delta and Omicron genetic variants were in the majority. By the end of April — beginning of May 2023, the proportion of Omicron sub-variants (XBB.1.9.2 and XBB.1.16) in Primorsky Krai was higher than the Russian average and comparable to that in neighboring countries (Republic of Korea and Japan). Conclusion. Due to the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, the possibility of the emergence of new pathogens, the peculiarities of the geographical location as well as political and economic importance of Primorsky Krai, it is necessary to consistently improve regional capabilities for operational molecular virological monitoring.
导言。COVID-19 大流行在病原学上与 SARS-CoV-2 相关,是持续时间最长的急性呼吸道疾病大流行,对全球人口、经济和政治产生了重大影响。这次流行病的经验对人类社会的可持续发展意义重大。对这些疫情控制经验的详细分析应包括病原体演变的细节,直至区域层面。本研究的目的是根据滨海边疆区境内病原体基因变异的变化,确定 COVID-19 流行过程的规律性。材料和方法在该疾病大流行期间(2020 年 3 月 11 日至 2023 年 5 月 5 日),对滨海边疆区 COVID-19 发病率和 SARS-CoV-2 基因变异体的流通动态进行了流行病学回顾分析。数据来自滨海边疆区 Rospotrebnadzor 局、滨海边疆区卫生与流行病学中心、俄罗斯联邦 G.P.

Somov 流行病学和微生物学研究所测序)被纳入分析范围。分析结果在分析 COVID-19 在滨海边疆区的流行动态(2020-2023 年)时,根据病原体基因变体的不同,发现了 7 种具有不同临床和流行病学症状的发病率上升情况。在滨海边疆区以及整个俄罗斯的大流行初期,SARS-CoV-2 的武汉样变种占主导地位,但后来 Delta 和 Omicron 基因变种占多数。到 2023 年 4 月底至 5 月初,滨海边疆区的 Omicron 亚变种(XBB.1.9.2 和 XBB.1.16)比例高于俄罗斯的平均水平,与邻国(大韩民国和日本)的比例相当。结论由于 SARS-CoV-2 的不断演变、新病原体出现的可能性、滨海边疆区地理位置的特殊性以及政治和经济的重要性,有必要不断提高该地区分子病毒学监测的业务能力。

The COVID-19 pandemic, etiologically related to SARS-CoV-2, was the longest-lasting pandemic for an acute respiratory disease and had a significant impact on demography, economics and politics globally. Experiences with this pandemic are significant for the sustainable development of human society. A detailed analysis of these experiences in epidemic control should include details of the pathogen evolution down to the regional level. \u0000The aim of the study was to establish the regularities of the COVID-19 epidemic process in connection with the change of the pathogen genetic variants on the territory of Primorsky Krai. \u0000Materials and methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 incidence and dynamics of circulation of SARS-CoV-2 genetic variants during the pandemic of this disease (11.03.2020–05.05.2023) in Primorsky Krai was carried out. Data was gathered from the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in Primorsky Krai, the Centre of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Primorsky Krai, as well as the G.P. Somov Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Russian Federation and Russian Platform for Aggregation of Information on Virus Genomes (VGARus). In particular, 1055 nucleotide sequences of full-length SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Primorsky Krai, among which 553 were sequenced at the G.P.

When analyzing the epidemic dynamics of COVID-19 in Primorsky Krai (2020–2023), 7 rises in incidence with different clinical and epidemiological symptoms depending on the genetic variants of the pathogen were identified. At the beginning of the pandemic in Primorsky Krai, as well as throughout Russia, Wuhan-like variants of SARS-CoV-2 were predominant, though later, Delta and Omicron genetic variants were in the majority. By the end of April — beginning of May 2023, the proportion of Omicron sub-variants (XBB.1.9.2 and XBB.1.16) in Primorsky Krai was higher than the Russian average and comparable to that in neighboring countries (Republic of Korea and Japan). \u0000Conclusion. Due to the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, the possibility of the emergence of new pathogens, the peculiarities of the geographical location as well as political and economic importance of Primorsky Krai, it is necessary to consistently improve regional capabilities for operational molecular virological monitoring.","PeriodicalId":508236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology, epidemiology and immunobiology","volume":"530 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140247100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the review is to give a brief characteristic of cell cultures obtained from mammalian tissues and to consider the current possibilities and prospects for their use in virology. The analysis of the literature data presented in the main databases, such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier, Google Scholar and RSCI (as of July 2023), indicates that various types of cell cultures are currently used in virological studies. The use of cell culture has a number of advantages over other in vitro and in vivo methods of virological research. The review provides numerous examples on the development of new methods of obtaining cell cultures for the cultivation of viruses. Among them are sensitive and reporter cell systems, the design of which can be a promising tool for diagnostics of existing and new unknown viral infections. Cell cultures are characterized as potential in vitro models in virology for developing new diagnostic test-systems and antiviral drugs. An important area of cell cultures application is their use as a substrate for the production of culture-derived vaccines. Another aspect of the cell cultures application is also highlighted, such as the study of the effect of the viruses on the host immune system or the mechanisms of immunopathogenesis of viral infections. It is concluded that the use of cell cultures remains currently and in the near future one of the most important methods in practical virology and in scientific research.
