Although the nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) is considered gold standard for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, Nasal Mid-Turbinate (NMTS) often used due to its higher tolerance among patients. We compared diagnostic performance NPS and NMTS Panbio™ COVID-19 antigen-detecting rapid test (Ag-RDT). Two hundred forty-three individuals were swabbed three times by healthcare professionals: a specimen Ag-RDT an oropharyngeal real time RT-PCR. Forty-nine participants RNA-SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR: 45 40...

Gonorrhoea infections are frequently diagnosed at extragenital locations in asymptomatic individuals and historically related to poor recovery culture, which hinders antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The aim of this study was evaluate rates Neisseria gonorrhoeae by culture among who tested positive nucleic acid amplification tests between 2018 2019 Barcelona (Spain). In total, 10 396 were for N. on first-void urine, rectal, pharyngeal and/or vaginal swabs depending sexual behaviour....

The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic requires a rapid, reliable, and user-friendly diagnostic test to help control the spread of virus. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is currently gold standard method for detection. Here, we develop protocol based on reverse loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) demonstrate increased sensitivity this technique using fresh RNA extracts compared samples subjected freezing/thawing cycles. We further compare RT-LAMP RT-qPCR that approach...
