Abstract
Rotavirus genotype G12 strains were detected for the first time among newborns with asymptomatic rotavirus infection (74% of 39 rotavirus strains isolated from the infected infants were genotype G12) in the nursery of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences during a period from 2005 to 2006. Sequence analysis of the VP7 genes from these neonatal strains indicated a high level of homology to other G12 strains reported worldwide, suggesting the recent emergence of these strains in humans. Such nosocomial infections of newborns represent a potential source of introduction of novel rotavirus serotypes into the community.
