Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid conversion time in military personnel outbreaks with presence of specific IgG antibodies.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted person-to-person mainly by close contact or droplets from respiratory tract. However, the actual time of viral shedding is still uncertain as well as the different routes of transmission. We aimed to characterize RNA shedding from nasopharyngeal and rectal samples in prolonged cases of mild COVID-19 in young male soldiers.

Whole-Genome Sequence of a Colombian Strain, a Coproducer of OXA-72 and OXA-255-Like Carbapenemases.

Colombian strain ST920 was isolated from the sputum of a 68-year-old male patient. This isolate possessed OXA-72 and OXA-255-like genes. The assembled genome contained 4,104,098 pb and 38.
