Antigen-based tests for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are inexpensive and can return results within 15 minutes (1). Antigen have received Food Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) use in asymptomatic symptomatic persons first 5-12 days after symptom onset (2). These been used at U.S. colleges universities other congregate settings (e.g., nursing homes correctional detention facilities), where serial testing of might facilitate...
Abstract Background Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and antigen tests are important diagnostics for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Sensitivity of has been shown to be lower than that rRT-PCR; however, data evaluate epidemiologic characteristics affect test performance limited. Methods Paired mid-turbinate nasal swabs were collected from university students staff tested SARS-CoV-2 using both Quidel Sofia SARS Antigen...

Here, we provide a genomic overview the population structure, geographic distribution, and evolution SPB PG1 analysing genomes from 568 historical contemporary isolates, obtained globally, between 1898 2021. We show that this pathogen existed in 13th century, subsequently diversifying into 11 lineages 38 genotypes with strong...
Abstract Paratyphoid B fever (PTB) is caused by an invasive lineage (phylogroup 1, PG1) of Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi (SPB). However, little was known about the global population structure, geographic distribution, and evolution this pathogen. Here, we report a whole-genome analysis 568 historical contemporary SPB PG1 isolates, obtained globally, between 1898 2021. We show that pathogen existed in 13th century, subsequently diversifying into 11 lineages 38 genotypes with strong...
