Abstract
|
The Santo Andre Regional Center from Adolfo Lutz Institute evaluated 91 537 samples by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from March 2020 to April 2021. The age, sex, and race of patients from three cities in southeastern Brazil, namely Sao Bernardo do Campo (SBC), Diadema, and Maua were assessed in association to the rate of positive results using generalized linear models. Circulating lineages were obtained from GISAID and intralineage genetic variation was investigated employing Lasergene software. A declining number of reported cases around October to November 2020 separate two epidemic waves in the three cities. Maua differed by the highest positive RT-PCR scores in January and February. GISAID classification of 38 SARS-CoV-2 complete genomic sequences showed the circulation of lineages P.1, B.1.1.28, P.2, B.1.1.332; P.1, P.2, B.1.1.28, B.1.1.33; and P.1, P.2 in SBC, Diadema and Maua, respectively. Intralineage variation revealed a significant amino-acid substitution in the ORF3a encoding protein (A33S) present in four out of six (67%) P.1 Maua isolates. As ORF3a encodes a nonselective Ca(2+) permeable cation channel, supposed to interfere in airway homeostasis, specific mutations could increase its pathogenic effect resulting in a higher number of symptomatic individuals explaining why the second wave was more intense in Maua city.
