SARS-CoV-2 Variability in Patients and Wastewaters—Potential Immuno-Modulation during the Shift from Delta to Omicron

John Murray

Résumé

The continuous emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants favors potential co-infections and/or viral mutation events, leading to possible new biological properties. The aim of this work was to characterize SARS-CoV-2 genetic variability during the Delta–Omicron shift in patients and in a neighboring wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the same urban area. The surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 was performed by routine screening of positive samples by single nucleotide polymorphism analysis within the S gene. Moreover, additionally to national systematic whole genome sequencing (WGS) once a week in SARS-CoV-2-positive patients, WGS was also applied when mutational profiles were difficult to interpret by routine screening. Thus, WGS was performed on 414 respiratory samples and on four wastewater samples, northeastern France. This allowed us to report (i) the temporally concordant Delta to Omicron viral shift in patients and wastewaters; (ii) the characterization of 21J (Delta) and 21K (Omicron)/BA.1-21L (Omicron)/BA.2-BA.4 mixtures from humans or environmental samples; (iii) the mapping of composite mutations and the predicted impact on immune properties in the viral Spike protein.
