The protein-L-utilizing Förster resonance energy transfer (LFRET) assay enables mix-and-read antibody detection, as demonstrated for sera from patients with, e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Zika virus, and

CONCLUSIONS: Capillary blood draw via a microneedle device results in highly comparable immune responses to those seen via venipuncture at baseline and following peptide stimulation, suggesting this is a viable method for rapid whole blood CRAs

CONCLUSION: WGS analysis of Mucorales identified during and after the COVID-19 pandemic gives insight into the molecular epidemiology of these isolates in our community and establishes newer mechanisms for intrinsic azole resistance.

Understanding the cellular host factors that promote and inhibit viral entry is important for identifying viral countermeasures. CRISPR whole-genome screens can be used to rapidly discover host factors that contribute to or impair viral entry

CONCLUSION: The phylogenetic relatedness of the lineages suggests multiple virus introduction, which could be a source of more virulent, locally adapted variants.

This is a report on an outbreak of Panton-Valentine leucocidin producing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (PVL MRSA) in an intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic that affected seven patients and a member of staff. Six patients

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatially resolved transcriptomic analysis in defining the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy, particularly its role in placental dysfunction. Furthermore, this study

CONCLUSION: We provide evidence of existence of Beta, Delta, Eta variants and a locally evolving lineage (B.1.530) from samples collected in early 2021 in Tanzania. This work provides a model for ongoing WGS surveillance that will be required to
