Comparison of the i-test COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test with Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR

Muhammet Çağrı Yıldız and others

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is used in high-capacity laboratories in the diagnosis of COVID-19. On the other hand, rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests require less technical expertise and laboratory capacity. Antigen tests, which are faster and cost-effective, are increasingly used in COVID-19 screening and diagnosis. This study aimed to compare the i-test (...) Read More

Rapid Detection of Difficult-to-Culture Bacterial Pathogens Using Real-time Nanopore Sequencing

Aycan Gündoğdu and others

Infectious diseases are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Current diagnosis of clinically significant infectious agents is based on a variety of laboratory-based tests including microscopy, culture, immunoassays and nucleic acid amplification. The majority of these techniques relies on conventional culture-based profiling […] Read More
