The BioFire diagnostic PCR system has a high false positive rate for norovirus in 2024

So this group cracked open some BioFire PCR pouches and sequenced the amplicon in Norovirus positives

Poor amplicon design - amplified of common enteric bacteria

Mpox continues to spread in many communities. Tecovirimat has activity against orthopoxviruses in vitro. In a phase 3 trial involving patients with acute mpox, tecovirimat showed no evidence of clinical activity. Full STOMP/A5418 trial results: https://nej.md/4rdlMA9

New biorxiv on the discovery of
an anellovirus genome integrated into an acute myeloid leukemia cell line that’s been used for 30+ years. The discovery informs blood cell tropism of anelloviruses and let us profile cancer systems biology data to inform anellovirus transcription.

Just when you think you've dodged the latest round of colds at work or school, sniffles & sore throat begin. A new study @GreningerLab @uwlabmedpath @JIDJournal suggests a strategy rhinoviruses might be using to raise their chances of infecting people https://t.co/kyPEqA2L0g

As U.S. syphilis cases surge, @uwlabmedpath researchers are determined to improve diagnostic tests for the infection. Untreated cases can cause severe harm. Grants @NIAIDNews @NIH awarded to @GreningerLab @MolMicro_Path & Salipante lab https://t.co/0mympCKTym
