OBJECTIVETo characterize the O3: K6 serovariant of Vibrio parahaemolyticus on virulence gene and molecular typing, and analyze the genetic relationship between O3: K6 and O3: K6 serovariants.
METHODSPFGE was performed on 115 strains of V.parahaemolyticus which were collected from the anal swab of cases of foodbrone diseases in Shenzhen during 2006-2012. According to isolation times and locations, 7 strains of O3: K6 were selected as control strains. Tdh gene, trh gene, orf8 gene were detected, GS-PCR, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) were used to chracterize 7 strains of O3: K6 and O3: K6 serovariants.
RESULTSPFGE indicated that 58.3% (67/115) of V. parahaemolyticus strains shared a high similarity of band pattern (similarity > 80%) , which comprised of O3: K6 (44/67), O1: KUT(4/67), and O3: K6 serovariants(19/67). Among the O3: K6 serovariants, O1: K25 accounted for 7% (5/67), O4: K68 accounted for 10% (7 /67), O11: K36 accounted for 10% (7 /67). They all carried both tdh and trh gene, and 53% (10/19) was GS-PCR positive and carried orf8 gene, 26% (5/19) was both GS-PCR and orf8 gene negative, 21% (4/19) was GS-PCR negative, orf8 gene positive, 89% (17/19) was assigned to ST-3, 11% (2/19) was assigned to ST-305. Seven strains of O3: K6 was GS-PCR positive, carried orf8 gene, assigned to ST-3. ST-305 and ST-3 had differences in 2 housekeeping genes, which was dtdS gene and pntA gene. In the 305th base of dtdS gene, ST-305(147 allele profile) was T, while ST-3(4 allele profile) was C. In the 33th base of pntA gene, ST-305(93 allele profile) was T, while ST-3(29 allele profile ) was C.
CONCLUSIONO4: K68,O1: K25 and O11: K36 were highly similar in virulencec gene carriage, MLST type of O3: K6, and aslo shared a close genetic relationship with O3: K6, thus were considered as O3: K6 serovirants.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in the Nanshan District of Shenzhen City from 2019 to 2022 and to provide a scientific basis for HFMD prevention in the area.Methods:Epidemiological data on HFMD in Shenzhen Nanshan District from 2019 to 2022 in the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention were analyzed using descriptive research methods.Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to analyze the etiology characteristics of clinical specimens from HFMD patients. The VP1 gene of the dominant pathogen coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) was amplified and sequenced. SepMan Pro of DNASTAR software was used for sequence assembly and MegAlign was used for nucleotide homology analysis.Results:A total of 13 195 HFMD cases were reported in Shenzhen Nanshan District from 2019 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 186.18/100, 000. Summer and autumn are the main onset seasons and children under 7 years old were the main population, accounting for 93.1%. The male-to-female ratio is 1.44∶1. A total of 451 clinical HFMD specimens were detected in the laboratory, including 403 positive (87.36%) and 48 negative (10.64%). The main pathogens were CV-A6 (63.03%), coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) (27.79%), coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4) (4.71%), coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) (1.99%), Echovirus 11 (Echo-11) (0.25%), and uncertain type accounted for 2.23%, with no detection for enterovirus71 (EV71) type. The nucleotide homology of the 13 CV-A6 strains ranged from 94.0%?99.6%, and the nucleotide homology with the prototype strain Gdula ranged 84.1%?85.8%. The results of phylogenetic tree showed that all 13 CV-A6 strains in Nanshan District were of the D3a genotype.Conclusions:FHFMD in Nanshan District of Shenzhen City in 2019-2022 shows obvious differences in population and time distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education on HFMD prevention and control in the summer and fall seasons and among key populations. CV-A6 and CV-A16 are the dominant strains of HFMD in Nanshan District, Shenzhen in recent years, so the monitoring of the dominant strains should be improved.
