TL;DR: Investigators report that saliva specimens and nasopharyngeal swab specimens had similar sensitivity in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of acquiring antibiotic-resistant bacteria from prior room occupants.
TL;DR: Admission to a room previously occupied by an MRSA-positive patient or a VRE- positive patient significantly increased the odds of acquisition for MRSA and VRE, and this route of transmission was a minor contributor to overall transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
SalivaDirect: A Simplified and Flexible Platform to Enhance SARS-CoV-2 Testing Capacity.
Chantal B.F. Vogels,Anne E. Watkins,Christina A. Harden,Doug E. Brackney,Jared Shafer,Jianhui Wang,Cesar Caraballo,Chaney C. Kalinich,Isabel M. Ott,Joseph R. Fauver,Eriko Kudo,Peiwen Lu,Arvind Venkataraman,Maria Tokuyama,Adam J. Moore,M.

Krumholz,J D Matheus,Pei Hui,Chen Liu,Shelli F. Farhadian,Robby S. Sikka,Anne L. Wyllie,Nathan D. Grubaugh +32 more
TL;DR: SalivaDirect as discussed by the authors is a saliva-based diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 screening and has been shown to be a valid alternative to swabs for large-scale testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Cleaning Intervention and Risk of Acquiring Multidrug-Resistant Organisms From Prior Room Occupants
TL;DR: Enhanced intensive care unit cleaning using the intervention methods may reduce MRSA and VRE transmission and eliminate the risk of MRSA acquisition due to an MRSA-positive prior room occupant.

TL;DR: The critical component of the approach is to use saliva instead of respiratory swabs, which enables non-invasive frequent sampling and reduces the need for trained healthcare professionals during collection, and the diagnostic test simplified by not requiring nucleic acid preservatives at sample collection.
