In June 2018,sows at a pig farm in Jiamusi,Heilongjiang Province,suffered a large num-ber of miscarriages,and subsequently weaned piglets at the farm began to show persistent high fe-ver symptoms at around 35 days of age,with some pigs having a fever of more than 41.5 ℃.In or-der to determine the cause of this outbreak,63 clinical samples from this farm were tested.The re-sults showed that 60 out of 63 samples were positive for the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)antigen.Subsequently,PRRSV antigen-positive plasmid was transfected into African green monkey embryonic kidney cells(Marc-145),and after three generations of blind transmission,indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA)was performed.The results showed that one PRRSV strain,named HLJ38,was successfully isolated.Then the whole genome of HLJ38 strain was sequenced and then analyzed in detail by bioinformatics software.Sequence analysis showed that there were three deletions of 131 amino acids(323-433 aa,483 aa and 504-522 aa)in the derived sequence of Nsp2 gene of HLJ38 strain,which was consistent with the molecular ge-netic marker of NADC30 PRRSV.The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that HLJ38 and NADC30 PRRSV in GenBank belong to lineage 1 subgroup,and the nucleotide homology of HLJ38 and NADC30 PRRSV in GenBank was only 85.2％and 84.6％.Recombinant analysis showed that HLJ38 was a recombinant NADC30-like PRRSV,and the recombinant gene fragments were de-rived from multiple strains,among which the fragment of 1-201 nt was provided by VR2332 strain and fragment of 6 641-8 061 nt derived from the HP-PRRSV strain.In summary,the re-sults showed that the outbreak in this pig farm may be caused by the recombination of PRRSV strains among different lineages,and the recombinant circulating strains not only have certain pathogenicity but also suggest that the existing commercial vaccines provide limited cross-protec-tion against them.Recombination between different lineages increases the genetic diversity of PRRSV and aggravates the difficulty of prevention and control of PRRS in pig farms.Therefore,it is necessary to continuously monitor the epidemic dynamics of PRRSV in pig farms and take effec-tive measures in time to curb the spread of PRRS.

Objective To investigate the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS)combined with serum separator tube and turbidimetry in the direct identification of pathogens in sterile body fluids.Methods A total of 284 positive sterile body fluid specimens(blood,hydrothorax,ascites,bile,and cerebrospinal fluid)infected by a single pathogen with a blood culture instrument alarm time less than 48 h were collected from January to December 2023 in the Department of Laboratory Medicine at Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital.All the specimens were tested by turbidimeter for pathogen concentration.And the reliability of the identification results was judged by MALDI-TOF MS scores according to different concentrations of the main pathogens.Results The lowest concentration of microorganism for achieving reliable results was 3.0 mcf for Escherichia coli,2.0 mcf for Klebsiella pneumoniae,3.0 mcf for Staphylococcus aureus,3.5 mcf for Enterococcus faecalis and 4.0 mcf for Candida when identified by MALDI-TOF MS.The results were compared between VITEK 2 identification,routine MALDI-TOF MS identification,and direct MALDI-TOF MS identification.The results of routine MALDI-TOF MS identification and VITEK identification were consistent in 282 cases.The concentration greater than 1.7 was found in 272 cases with direct MALDI-TOF MS,and the sensitivity of MALDI-TOF MS was 95.8％(272/284).The results did not show significant difference between the 3 identification methods(x2=2.09,P=0.55).Conclusions MALDI-TOF MS combined with serum separator tube and turbidimetry is a reliable and innovative technique for identifying pathogens in sterile body fluids.It is rapid and accurate,and may be valuable for early etiological diagnosis in clinical practice.
