RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

O conhecimento de Bordetella pertussis circulante na América Latina é limitado. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi usar a técnica da eletroforese em campo pulsado e a sorotipagem para caracterizar cepas de B. pertussis isoladas na cidade de São Paulo (SP).

MÉTODOS:

Este estudo, conduzido entre 2006 e 2008, analisou 652 swabs de nasofaringe coletados de casos suspeitos e comunicantes de coqueluche, provenientes de 37 hospitais sentinela de São Paulo. Foram realizadas as técnicas da eletroforese em campo pulsado e sorotipagem em 91 (70%) cepas de B. pertussis, escolhidas aleatoriamente.

RESULTADOS:

Noventa e sete por cento das cepas de São Paulo foram sorotipadas como Fim3. Foram identificados 14 perfis genéticos pela eletroforese em campo pulsado; o mais prevalente (57%) também é o mais prevalente nos EUA.

CONCLUSÕES:

Esses dados, em conjunto com ações da vigilância, podem ter um impacto nas estratégias de prevenção e controle de coqueluche na região, oferecendo informações úteis para a introdução de estratégias novas de vacinação e redução do risco de transmissão para bebês menores de 6 meses de idade.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Knowledge of Bordetella pertussis circulating in Latin America is limited. Therefore, the goal of this study was to use pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and serotyping to characterize B. pertussis strains isolated in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

METHODS:

This study, conducted between 2006 and 2008, analyzed 652 nasopharyngeal swabs from suspected pertussis cases and contacts, collected from 37 sentinel hospitals in São Paulo. Randomized samples of 91 (70%) strains of B. pertussis were subtyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and serotyping.

RESULTS:

Ninety-seven percent of strains from São Paulo were serotyped as Fim3. Fourteen pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles were identified; the most prevalent (57%) is also the most prevalent in the USA.

CONCLUSIONS:

These data, in conjunction with surveillance activities, may impact strategies regarding prevention and control of pertussis in the region, providing useful information for introduction of new vaccination strategies and reduction of risk of transmission to infants less than 6 months of age.
