Predicting infectivity: comparing four PCR‐based assays to detect culturable SARS‐CoV‐2 in clinical samples
3 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract With the COVID‐19 pandemic caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 now in its second year, there remains an urgent need for diagnostic testing that can identify infected individuals, particularly those who harbor infectious virus. Various RT–PCR strategies have been proposed to identify specific viral RNA species that may predict the presence of infectious virus, including detection of transcriptional intermediates (e.g.,...
