Utility of in-house and commercial PCR assay in diagnosis of Covid-19 associated mucormycoss in an emergency setting in a tertiary care center
Conclusion. Because the in-house PCR is not only sensitive and specific, but also entirely based on SYBR Green for detection of targets, it is less expensive than probe-based assays and can be used on a regular basis for the diagnosis of IM in resource-constrained settings. It can be used to distinguish between mucormycosis and fungal sinusitis caused by Aspergillus and Fusarium in high-risk patients, as well as to accurately detect Mucorales in fungal co-infection cases.PMID:37624041 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001745 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Molecular characterization and genotyping of isolates from cancer patients with < em > Clostridioides difficile < /em > infection or asymptomatic colonization
Conclusions. We found a clonal association between C. difficile isolates from patients with CDAC and CDI. Studies are needed to evaluate the potential role of asymptomatic carriers in the dynamics of nosocomial transmission to support infection control measures and reduce the burden of CDI in high-risk groups.PMID:37624363 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001748 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Evaluation of the efficacy of tongue swab and saliva as samples for testing COVID-19 infection in symptomatic cases in comparison with nasopharyngeal swab
Conclusion. The sensitivity and specificity of saliva as sample for COVID-19 detection were found to be 71 and 88% respectively whereas those of tongue swab as sample were 78 and 90 %. Further validation was based on the positive and negative predictive values, the likelihood ratio, agreement percentage and the kappa statistic. The findings of the study point towards tongue swab and saliva as suitable alternative samples for the diagnosis of COVID-19 with a slightly higher accuracy and agreement for tongue swab than saliva. However considering the fatality of COVID-19, they are better suited for mass screening of people th...
