[Objective] To isolate and identify a strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) from bovine oropharyngeal fluid (OPF) and subsequently analyze the amino acid mutations in antigenic proteins and the proliferative properties of the isolated virus. [Methods] RT-PCR and sequencing were performed to identify the FMDV-positive OPF samples. The FMDV strain was isolated from bovine OPF samples by cell inoculation and identified by indirect immunofluorescence assay. The whole genome sequence of the strain was obtained by fragment amplification and sequencing. The amino acid sequences were compared to reveal the amino acid mutations in the antigenic proteins of the strain. The proliferative properties of the isolated FMDV strain were analyzed by the plaque forming assay and one-step growth curve. [Results] A FMDV strain O/FMDV/OP/2022/B was successfully isolated from bovine OPF, belonging to serotype O and Ind-2001 lineage. Amino acid mutations were identified in the antigenic proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 of O/FMDV/OP/2022/B. In addition, the plaque of O/FMDV/OP/2022/B in BHK-21 cells was smaller than that of the vaccine strain O/FMDV/HN/93. The one-step growth curves showed that O/FMDV/OP/2022/B had significantly lower replication titer than O/FMDV/HN/93 in BHK-21 cells. [Conclusion] A strain of FMDV was isolated from bovine OPF, and it displayed amino acid mutations in antigenic proteins and had lower proliferative capacity than the vaccine strain O/FMDV/HN/93. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanism of persistent FMDV infection in the bovine oropharynx and provides a reference for the prevention and control of FMD.
