Rapid antigenic test (TRA) versus RT-PCR: Experience of CHU IBN ROCHD CasablancaAg-RDTs have a good specificity varying from 93.2 to 100% depending on the kits in comparison with RT-PCR.In our study, the specificity of the BIOSENSOR test was 100% and the sensitivity was 47.17%.This ...
suggest greater efficiency of testing in outbreak versus non-outbreak settings32. Our work was further strengthened through the use of time-varying, test-specific diagnostic sensitivity (as opposed to time-invariant estimates often assumed in other work), facilitating assessment of optimal timing for ...
For quarantine durations varying from one to 14 days, we compared the probability of PQT when performing a single RT-PCR test on exit to a RA test on exit or RA tests on both entry and exit. The objective of the additional RA test on entry to the one on exit is to compensate for t...
This review provides moderate support for the strategy of usingLFAsas a ‘triage’ test forEVDin symptomatic patients. LFAs are both sensitive and specific for EVD diagnosis in the context of patients presenting to the ETUs with symptoms consistent with EVD, pending final PCR testing. In field ...
In this work, we confirm this observation, noting increased degradation rates for IpaH9.8 (1.5 h) versus SPOP (>2.5 h79). In addition, we found that SPOP-K27 could not be converted into an exogenously delivered degrader (Fig. 3G). We hypothesize that this failure is due to a lower...

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA copy numbers corresponding to LoD50 and LoD95 for test 4 for delta- versus omicron-containing specimens were 8- to tenfold higher for the latter with 1.77 × 105 and 4.52 × 106 versus 1.33 × 106 and 4.37 × 107, respectively. For test 5,...

To compare European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and CLSI broth microdilution (BMD) methods for testing the novel...
(e.g. result clashes with patient’s or provider’s opinion); test positive after treatment; not able to quantify parasites; invalid results (control band non-reactive); high burden added to providers’ work; no supplies, including gloves; patients’ belief that they were being tested for ...
RT-PCR analysis RT-PCR was carried out on total RNA obtained from eyes and isolated using RNeasy (Qiagen). After total RNA isolation, samples were treated with 1 U RNase-free DNase for 45 min at 37°C to remove any transgenic DNA contamination. The DNase was inactivated by heating for ...
