    An international, interlaboratory ring trial confirms the feasibility of an extraction-less ""direct"" RT-qPCR method for reliable detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in clinical samples

    Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is used worldwide to test and trace the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). ""Extraction-less"" or ""direct"" real time-reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a transparent and accessible qualitative method for SARS-CoV-2 detection from nasopharyngeal or oral pharyngeal samples with the potential to generate actionable data more quickly, at a lower cost, and with fewer experimental resources than full RT-qPCR. This study engaged 10 global testing sites, including laboratories currently experiencing testing limitations due to reagent or equipment shortages, in an international interlaboratory ring trial. Participating laboratories were provided a common protocol, common reagents, aliquots of identical pooled clinical samples, and purified nucleic acids and used their existing in-house equipment. We observed 100% concordance across laboratories in the correct identification of all positive and negative samples, with highly similar cycle threshold values. The test also performed well when applied to locally collected patient nasopharyngeal samples, provided the viral transport media did not contain charcoal or guanidine, both of which appeared to potently inhibit the RT-PCR reaction. Our results suggest that direct RT-PCR assay methods can be clearly translated across sites utilizing readily available equipment and expertise and are thus a feasible option for more efficient COVID-19 coronavirus disease testing as demanded by the continuing pandemic.

    SARS-CoV-2 in a stream running through an underprivileged, underserved, urban settlement in Sao Paulo, Brazil: A 7-month follow-up
    (2021) RAZZOLINI, Maria Tereza Pepe; BARBOSA, Mikaela Renata Funada; ARAUJO, Ronalda Silva de; OLIVEIRA, Ivo Freitas de; MENDES-CORREA, Maria Cassia; SABINO, Ester C.; GARCIA, Suzi Cristina; V, Anderson de Paula; VILLAS-BOAS, Lucy S.; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; DROPA, Milena; ASSIS, Denise Brandao de; LEVIN, Beatriz S.; LIMA, Antonio Carlos Pedroso de; LEVIN, Anna S.
    COVID-19 pandemic has led to concerns on the circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in the environment, its infectivity from the environment and, the relevance of transmission via environmental compartments. During 31 weeks, water samples were collected from a heavily contaminated stream going through an urban, underprivileged community without sewage collection. Our results showed a statistically significant correlation between cases of COVID-19 and SARS in the community, and SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in the water. Based on the model, if the concentrations of SARS-CoV-RNA (N1 and N2 target regions) increase 10 times, there is an expected increase of 104% [95%CI: (62-157%)] and 92% [95%CI: (51-143%)], respectively, in the number of cases of COVID-19 and SARS. We believe that differences in concentration of the virus in the environment reflect the epidemiological status in the community, which may be important information for surveillance and controlling dissemination in areas with vulnerable populations and poor sanitation. None of the samples were found infectious based cultures. Our results may be applicable globally as similar communities exist worldwide.
