This report describes the isolation, molecular characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of the first three complete genomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolated from three patients involved in the first outbreak of COVID-19 in Lombardy, Italy. Early molecular epidemiological tracing suggests that SARS-CoV-2 was present in Italy weeks before the first reported cases of infection.
本报告描述了从意大利伦巴第首次 COVID-19 暴发中涉及的 3 名患者身上分离出的、首批 3 株严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的全基因组的分离、分子特征鉴定和系统进化分析。早期的分子流行病学溯源提示,在意大利首例感染病例报告之前,SARS-CoV-2 已存在数周。
