RESUMO

Background and aims: Despite global vaccination efforts, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains high. To overcome the crisis precipitated by the ongoing pandemic, characteristic studies such as virus diagnosis, isolation, and genome analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are necessary. Herein, we report the isolation and molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 from the saliva of patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 at Proving Ground in Taean County, Republic of Korea, in 2020. Methods: We analyzed the whole-genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from the saliva samples of patients through next-generation sequencing. We also successfully isolated SARS-CoV-2 from the saliva samples of two patients by using cell culture, which was used to study the cytopathic effects and viral replication in Vero E6 cells. Results: Whole-genome sequences of the isolates, SARS-CoV-2 ADD-2 and ADD-4, obtained from saliva were identical, and phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian inference methods showed SARS-CoV-2 GH clade (B.1.497) genome-specific clustering. Typical coronavirus-like particles, with diameters of 70-120 nm, were observed in the SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 cells using transmission electron microscopy. Conclusion: In conclusion, this report provides insights into the molecular diagnosis, isolation, genetic characteristics, and diversity of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from the saliva of patients. Further studies are needed to explore and monitor the evolution and characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
