Article Synopsis
- Global surveillance has detected emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 with mutations in the spike protein, which may affect their transmissibility and resistance to vaccines.
- In Colombia during 2021, the dominant variants were Mu (49% of cases), Gamma (25%), and B.1.111 (almost undetectable), with Mu being classified as a variant of interest and Gamma as a variant of concern.
- Vaccinated individuals showed significantly lower neutralizing antibody responses to the Mu variant compared to B.1.111 and Gamma, highlighting the need for ongoing variant surveillance and assessment of different vaccines' effectiveness.
