    Abstract Rapid and reliable screening of SARS-CoV-2 is fundamental to assess viral spread and limit the pandemic we are facing. In this study, we compared direct rRT-PCR method (without RNA extraction) using SeeGene AllplexTM 2019-nCoV rRT-PCR with the RealStar® SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR kit (Altona Diagnostics). Furthermore, we assessed the impact of swab storage media composition on PCR efficiency. We show that SeeGene and Altona's assays provide similar efficiency. Importantly, we provide evidence that RNA extraction can be successfully bypassed when samples are stored in UTM medium or in molecular water but not when samples are stored in saline solution and in Hanks medium.

    Abstract The diagnosis of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection relies on the detection of viral RNA by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) performed with respiratory specimens, especially nasopharyngeal swabs. However, this procedure requires specialized medical personnel, centralized laboratory facilities, and time to provide results (from several hours up to 1 d). In addition, there is a non-negligible risk of viral transmission for the operator who performs the procedure. For these reasons, several studies have suggested the use of other body fluids, including saliva, for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The use of saliva as a diagnostic specimen has numerous advantages: it is easily self-collected by the patient with almost no discomfort, it does not require specialized health care personnel for its management, and it reduces the risks for the operator. In the past few months, several scientific papers, media, and companies have announced the development of new salivary tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection. Posterior oropharyngeal saliva should be distinguished from oral saliva, since the former is a part of respiratory secretions, while the latter is produced by the salivary glands, which are outside the respiratory tract. Saliva can be analyzed through standard (rRT-PCR) or rapid molecular biology tests (direct rRT-PCR without extraction), although, in a hospital setting, these procedures may be performed only in addition to nasopharyngeal swabs to minimize the incidence of false-negative results. Conversely, the promising role of saliva in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is highlighted by the emergence of point-of-care technologies and, most important, point-of-need devices. Indeed, these devices can be directly used in workplaces, airports, schools, cinemas, and shopping centers. An example is the recently described Rapid Salivary Test, an antigen test based on the lateral flow assay, which detects the presence of the virus by identifying the spike protein in the saliva within a few minutes.

    Abstract Standard diagnoses of SARS-CoV-2 infections are done by RNA extraction and real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR). However, the need for RNA extraction complicates testing due to increased processing time, high cost, and limited availability of commercial kits. Therefore, alternative methods for rRT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 without RNA extraction were investigated. Nasopharyngeal and sputum samples were used to compare the sensitivity of three techniques: Trizol RNA extraction, thermal shock, and the direct use of samples with an RNase inhibitor. Direct, extraction-free use of primary samples plus the RNase inhibitor produced diagnostic values of 100 % sensitivity and specificity compared to standard protocols, and these findings were validated in a second, independent laboratory.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was reported to the WHO (World Health Organization) as an outbreak on end of 2019, afterwards pandemic on the worldwide in 2020. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has be reported it to cause COVID-19, and highly transmissible. Therefore, it is important that it is rapidly and continuously detected and monitored on site so that the infection is prevented. Namely, POCT (point of care testing) may be important to control cross infection of SARS-CoV-2. At present, the routine confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 is based on detection of sequence unique in the virus RNA by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) such as rRT-PCR. Taking POCT into account, it is clear that it takes time and labour very much or much. Thus, it was our purpose this time to contribute to develop POCT for microbes such as SARS-CoV-2, and thus needed to improve NAATs method. First, combining the mobile real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) device PCR1100 with the appropriate rRT-PCR reagent, we found that it is possible to detect RNA of SARS-CoV-2 for less 14 minutes with equivalent accuracy to conventional devices. Next, we found that the above method made it possible for us to detect coronaviruses by direct rRT-PCR without pre-treatments. Furthermore, it also made clear that coronaviruses in saliva could be detected by the similar direct rRT-PCR method. Hence, it was concluded that this method made it possible to detect virus in saliva without treating in advance (extraction, purification, concentration, etc.), and moreover, samples would be able to be collected with non-invasive. For this reason, we suggest that this method is useful for POCT of coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Introduction: The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been troublesome particularly for developing countries that lack infrastructure and capacities to produce the kits locally. Simplification of the method can increase diagnostic efficiency which can benefit patients and help in infection control, consequently saving time and lives. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic value of four methods (that omit extraction step) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 against the traditional extraction method. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis for evaluating diagnostic accuracy of four methods for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real-time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR), conducted in the Department of Microbiology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, in October 2020. Ninety four SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive samples and 20 negative samples were taken for this study. Automated extraction system was used for Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) extraction and four different approaches were compared to the traditional extraction method for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Data was entered and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software version 24.0. Results: The automated RNA extraction method was compared to the method of direct addition of samples with (Heat processed Direct Viral transport medium Sample (HDVS)) and without heating (Direct Viral transport medium Sample (DVS)), directs addition of diluted (1:5) sample with (Heat processed diluted VTM sample (HdVS)) and without heating (Diluted VTM sample (dVS)) as well as after addition of Proteinse K (PK) to the diluted samples that came either negative/invalid. Out of four methods, the HdVS method gave the best results, considering extraction with Perkin Elmer as standard, this method showed sensitivity of 96.74%, specificity of 100%. Conclusion: In current pandemic, molecular testing is critically challenged by the limited supplies of reagents of nucleic ...
