Wastewater surveillance using ddPCR reveals highly accurate tracking of Omicron variant due to altered N1 probe binding efficiency

2022-02-21

Abstract excerpt

Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 is being used worldwide to understand COVID-19 infection trends in a community. We found the emergence and rapid timeline for dominance of the Omicron variant was accurately reflected in wastewater when measured with droplet digital (dd)PCR. We were able to distinguish Omicron from the circulating Delta variant because Omicron has a mutation in the N1 probe binding region tha...
