Culture inoculation of 6722 nasopharyngeal samples since February 2020 allowed isolation of 3637 SARS-CoV-2 and confirmed that isolation rate is correlated to viral load, regardless symptomatology or vaccination status. Moreover, the delta variant is associated with higher viral loads and therefore higher rates of viral isolation, explaining its greater contagiousness.
自 2020 年 2 月以来,对 6722 个鼻咽样本进行了培养,共分离出 3637 株 SARS-CoV-2,并证实分离率与病毒载量相关,而与症状或疫苗接种状态无关。此外,德尔塔变异株与更高的病毒载量相关,因此具有更高的病毒分离率,这也解释了其更强的传染性。
