Background: Denmark is a tuberculosis (TB) and multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB low-incidence country at 5 and 0.05 cases per 100.000 population, respectively. Until 2018, transmission of MDR-TB was nonexistent except for few pairwise related family-cases. In this study we describe the first MDR-TB outbreak in Denmark. Methods: Based on genotyping of all Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) culture-positive …

Overview To provide an additional layer of protection against COVID-19covid 19 and variants including Omicron, Ontario is launching a holiday testing blitz to offer voluntary rapid antigen screening to individuals free of charge at pop-up sites across the province. This initiative is part of the government’s enhanced COVID-19covid 19 testing strategy to mitigate the increased risk of transmission over the holiday …

SARS-CoV-2 RBD of Spike protein GH452R.V1, CAL.20C, L452R – lineage B.1.429 – CAL Variant

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By

A new emerging variant of SARS-CoV-2, called CAL.20C or lineage B.1.429, was recently reported in California (USA). Identified by researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July 2020, the variant was initially reported as rare only to resurface later that year (October). The most recent reports indicate that CAL.20C is rapidly replacing the old 20G lineage, …

Protective transport media have for use to protect Neisseria gonorrhoeae in clinical specimens throughout their transit to the laboratory. In this examine, a CO2- setting chamber, the Jembec chamber, was used for transport of clinical speciments requiring examination for gonococci. The survival of N. gonorrhoeae current in clinical speciments when positioned in Amies charcoal transport medium was …

In 100 clinical specimens containing Neisseria gonorrhoeae, commercially ready New York City medium in JEMBEC plates was superior to Martin-Lewis medium for recovery of gonococci in 49 specimens, equal to Martin-Lewis medium in 43 specimens, and much less efficient in eight specimens. Laboratory prognosis in the issue of suspected gonococcal an infection. Proper laboratory methods are indispensable …

A prototype, nonisotopic, chemiluminescent DNA probe test referred to as the Gen-Probe PACE (Probe Assay-Chemiluminescence Enhanced) system for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gen-Probe, San Diego, Calif.) was in contrast with standard Martin-Lewis tradition medium in JEMBEC plates for the laboratory diagnosis of gonorrhea. This 2-h noncultural assay is predicated upon the use of an acridinium ester-labeled DNA probe. The …
