Abstract excerpt
During molecular surveillance of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in children hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections in Beijing, China, during 2014-2024, the most prevalent genotypes were HAdV-B114 (53.85%) and HAdV-B7 (27.18%). A novel recombinant genotype, HAdV-B117, was identified in 2 children <5 years of age with severe community-acquired pneumonia and serious complications. Genomic analysis...
