TL;DR: The finding that those receiving three doses of a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine had Omicron BA.1–neutralizing antibodies underscore the potential benefit of mRNA vaccine boosters for protection against Omicrons and the need for rapid development of antibody therapeutics that maintain potency against emerging variants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics Methodologies for Infectious Disease Research and Public Health: Approaches, Applications, and Considerations for Development of Laboratory Capacity.
Irina Maljkovic Berry,Melanie C. Melendrez,Kimberly A. Bishop-Lilly,Wiriya Rutvisuttinunt,Simon Pollett,Simon Pollett,Eldin Talundzic,Lindsay Morton,Richard G. Jarman +8 more
TL;DR: The most common NGS and bioinformatics workflows in the context of infectious disease genomic surveillance and pathogen discovery are summarized, and the main challenges and considerations for setting up an NGS-focused infectious disease research public health laboratory are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the Vitek MS and Bruker Microflex LT MALDI-TOF MS platforms for routine identification of commonly isolated bacteria and yeast in the clinical microbiology laboratory
Eszter Deak,Carmen L. Charlton,April M. Bobenchik,Shelley A. Miller,Simon Pollett,Ian Howard Mchardy,Max T. Wu,Omai B. Garner +7 more
TL;DR: Both systems performed with high accuracy when evaluated solely on Food and Drug Administration-approved organisms for each database and a user-based assessment of the 2 instruments revealed an overall preference for the Vitek MS instrument.
