Objective:To analyze the laboratory test results of two outbreaks of neonatal enterovirus infections in Guangdong Province in 2019 and the genetic characteristics of Echo11, aiming to provide reference for the prevention and control of neonatal enterovirus infections.Methods:The pathogenic specimens of neonatal cases suspected of enterovirus infection were collected. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and sequencing were used for enterovirus typing and identification, and virus isolation was carried out for positive specimens.The complete sequences of VP1 of Echo11 were amplified and sequenced and the phylogenetic analysis was performed using the bioinformatics software such as Danstar6, Bioedit7.09 and MEGA6.06.Results:A total of 93 specimens from 36 neonatal cases were collected. After identification, 55 specimens from 24 cases were positive for enterovirus, of which 23 cases were positive for Echo11 and one case was positive for Coxsackievirus B4(CVB4). A total of 29 enterovirus strains were isolated from the specimens of 19 cases, of which 28 were Echo11 from 18 cases, and one was CVB4. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the nucleotide homology between the 18 strains of Echo11 in this study was 98.2%-100.0%, and the nucleotide homology between the Echo11 strains causing the two neonatal infections was 99.7%-100.0% and 99.8%-100.0%, respectively. Echo11 could be divided into six genotypes as A, B, C, D, E and F, in which genotype A and genotype C were further divided into A1-5 and C1-4, and genotype D could be divided into D1-5. The 18 strains of Echo11 in this study were all subtype D5.Conclusions:In 2019, two outbreaks of neonatal infections in medical institutions in Guangdong Province were caused by Echo11, which belonged to the genotype D5.
