TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied statistical and machine learning models to determine whether SARS-CoV-2 sequence variants are associated with differing outcomes among COVID-19 patients in a single medical system.

TL;DR: Presence and higher load of bacteria other than S. epidermidis detected by WGS or DNA from TTV by qPCR in ocular fluids is associated with worse outcomes in post-procedure endophthalmitis.

TL;DR: In this paper , the utility of nanopore sequencing for identifying potential causative pathogens in endophthalmitis was evaluated by comparing culture results with full-length 16S rRNA nanopore, whole genome nanopore WGS, and Illumina (Illumina WGS).

TL;DR: SARS-CoV-2 shows substantial sequence diversity in a community-based sample and among patients sufficiently ill to warrant testing for virus, no significant difference in outcomes of hospitalization or death could be discerned between clades in this sample.

TL;DR: In the NVC-422 randomized controlled clinical trial comparing auricloscene to placebo, clinical signs and symptoms at presentation and day 18 endpoint were compared with the larger cohort of 262 subjects with conjunctivitis due to AdV D8 as discussed by the authors.
