ABSTRACT
We identified a Delta-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 recombinant in an unvaccinated, immunosuppressed kidney transplant recipient who had positive COVID-19 tests in December 2021 and February 2022 and was initially treated with Sotrovimab. Viral sequencing in February 2022 revealed a 5' Delta AY.45 portion and a 3' Omicron BA.1 portion with a recombination breakpoint in the spike N-terminal domain, adjacent to the Sotrovimab quaternary binding site. The recombinant virus induced cytopathic effects with characteristics of both Delta (large cells) and Omicron (cell rounding/detachment). Monitoring of immunosuppressed COVID-19 patients treated with antiviral monoclonal antibodies is crucial to detect potential selection of recombinant variants.
