Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Renke Chen"
- Renke Chen's recent research emphasizes the efficacy of alternative sample collection methods for detecting respiratory pathogens, particularly highlighting the use of "hock-a-loogie" saliva in comparison to traditional nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs among 469 patients.
- In the context of COVID-19, Chen's work investigates the implementation of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for surveillance of secondary infections in hospitalized patients, addressing both respiratory pathogens and antibiotic resistance in a cohort of 192 individuals.
- Additionally, Chen has contributed to the understanding of viral genomic mutations in H7N9-infected patients, examining the relationship between oseltamivir resistance and the duration of viral shedding, using clinical specimens from 31 cases.
