Enhanced Throughput of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Real-Time RT-PCR Panel by Assay Multiplexing and Specimen Pooling.
Lu X , Sakthivel SK , Wang L , Lynch B , Dollard SM . J Virol Methods 2021 293 114149 A multiplex real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was developed based on the same primer and probe sequences of an existing U.S. CDC Emergency Use authorized test panel, targeting SARS-CoV-2 N1, N2 and human RNase P genes in singleplex. Both singleplex and multiplex assays demonstrated linear dynamic ranges of 8 orders of magnitude and analytical limits of detection of 5 RNA transcript copies/reaction. Both assays showed 100% agreement with 364 previously characterized clinical specimens (146 positive and 218 negative) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. To further increase testing throughput, 40 positive and 20 negative four-specimen pools were tested by the multiplex assay and showed 97.75% and 100% congruence with individual specimen tests, respectively. rRT-PCR assay multiplexing and sample pooling, individually or in combination, can substantially increase throughput of SARS-CoV-2 testing. |

Emerg Infect Dis 2020 26 (9) 1998-2004 To determine prevalence of, seroprevalence of, and potential exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among a cohort of evacuees returning to the United States from Wuhan, China, in January 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional study of quarantined evacuees from 1 repatriation flight. Overall, 193 of 195 evacuees completed exposure surveys and submitted upper respiratory or serum specimens or both at arrival in the United States. Nearly all evacuees had taken preventive measures to limit potential exposure while in Wuhan, and none had detectable SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory tract specimens, suggesting the absence of asymptomatic respiratory shedding among this group at the time of testing. Evidence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 1 evacuee, who reported experiencing no symptoms or high-risk exposures in the previous 2 months. These findings demonstrated that this group of evacuees posed a low risk of introducing SARS-CoV-2 to the United States. |
US CDC Real-Time Reverse Transcription PCR Panel for Detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2.
Lu X , Wang L , Sakthivel SK , Whitaker B , Murray J , Kamili S , Lynch B , Malapati L , Burke SA , Harcourt J , Tamin A , Thornburg NJ , Villanueva JM , Lindstrom S . Emerg Infect Dis 2020 26 (8) 1654-65 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the etiologic agent associated with coronavirus disease, which emerged in late 2019. In response, we developed a diagnostic panel consisting of 3 real-time reverse transcription PCR assays targeting the nucleocapsid gene and evaluated use of these assays for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection. All assays demonstrated a linear dynamic range of 8 orders of magnitude and an analytical limit of detection of 5 copies/reaction of quantified RNA transcripts and 1 x 10(-1.5) 50% tissue culture infectious dose/mL of cell-cultured SARS-CoV-2. All assays performed comparably with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal secretions, serum, and fecal specimens spiked with cultured virus. We obtained no false-positive amplifications with other human coronaviruses or common respiratory pathogens. Results from all 3 assays were highly correlated during clinical specimen testing. On February 4, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization to enable emergency use of this panel. |

The first US patient was diagnosed by the State of Washington and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on January 20, 2020. We isolated virus from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal specimens, and characterized the viral sequence, replication properties, and cell culture tropism. We found that the virus replicates to high titer in Vero-CCL81 cells and Vero E6 cells in the absence of trypsin. We also deposited the virus into two virus repositories, making it broadly available to the public health and research communities. We hope that open access to this important reagent will expedite development of medical countermeasures. |

Multiple Respiratory Syncytial Virus Introductions Into a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Rose EB , Washington EJ , Wang L , Benowitz I , Thornburg NJ , Gerber SI , Peret TCT , Langley GE . J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc 2020 10 (2) 118-124 BACKGROUND: Outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are of concern because of the risk of severe disease in young infants. We describe an outbreak of RSV in a NICU and use whole genome sequencing (WGS) to better understand the relatedness of viruses among patients.SummaryUsing whole genome sequencing, we found 2 introductions of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) into a neonatal intensive care unit causing 7 infections. This outbreak highlights the risk of healthcare-associated infections during RSV season; early recognition is critical to limit transmission. METHODS: An investigation was conducted to identify patients and describe their clinical course. Infection control measures were implemented to prevent further spread. Respiratory specimens from outbreak-related patients and the community were tested using WGS. Phylogenetic trees were constructed to understand relatedness of the viruses. RESULTS: Seven patients developed respiratory symptoms within an 11-day span in December 2017 and were diagnosed with RSV; 6 patients (86%) were preterm and 1 had chronic lung disease. Three patients required additional respiratory support after symptom onset, and none died. Six of 7 patients were part of the same cluster based on > 99.99% nucleotide agreement with each other and 3 unique single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in viruses sequenced from those patients. The seventh patient was admitted from the community with respiratory symptoms and had a genetically distinct virus that was not related to the other 6. Implementation of enhanced infection control measures likely limited the spread. CONCLUSIONS: Using WGS, we found 2 distinct introductions of RSV into a NICU, highlighting the risk of healthcare-associated infections during RSV season. Early recognition and infection control measures likely limited spread, emphasizing the importance of considering RSV in the differential diagnosis of respiratory infections in healthcare settings. |
Duplex Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for Detection and Subgroup-Specific Identification of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
Wang L , Piedra P , Avadhanula V , Durigon EL , Machablishvili A , Lopez MR , Thornburg N , Peret TCT . J Virol Methods 2019 271 113676 Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory illness in young children worldwide. Reliable detection and identification of HRSV subgroup A and B infections are essential for accurate disease burden estimates in anticipation of licensure of novel HRSV vaccines and immunotherapies. To ensure continued reliability, molecular assays must remain current with evolving virus strains. We have developed a HRSV subgroup-specific real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assay for detection and subgroup identification using primers and subgroup-specific probes targeting a conserved region of the nucleoprotein gene combined in a single duplex reaction using all genome sequence data currently available in GenBank. The assay was validated for analytical sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and clinical performance with a geographically diverse collection of viral isolates and respiratory specimens in direct comparison with an established pan-HRSV rRT-PCR reference test. The assay was sensitive, reproducibly detecting as few as 5 to 10 copies/reaction of target RNA. The assay was specific, showing no amplification with a panel of 16 other common respiratory pathogens or predicted by in silico primer/probe analysis. The duplex rRT-PCR assay based on the most current available genome sequence data permits rapid, sensitive and specific detection and subgroup identification of HRSV. |
