    Abstract Background: We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the FilmArray Blood Culture Identification Panel (BCID; bioMerieux) for the detection of bloodstream pathogens.
    Methods: From May to August 2022, up to 67 samples from positive blood cultures previously processed with BACTEC FX (BD) were collected and submitted to the BCID panel. BCID panel results were compared with traditional culture results.
    Results: We tested 67 positive blood culture samples; 13 samples were from pediatric bottles of BACTEC Peds Plus/F media (BD). The overall sensitivity of the BCID panel was 89.9% (62/69; 95% CI, 80.2 - 95.3%). For blood-stream pathogens targeted by the BCID panel, sensitivity was 98.4% (62/63; 95% CI, 90.7 - > 99.9%). Interestingly, Proteus species were additionally detected in 6 samples from pediatric blood culture bottles.
    Conclusions: BCID demonstrated high clinical sensitivity for target pathogens, but positive findings for unexpected multiple targets or Proteus species require cautious interpretation to avoid false positives.

    Abstract During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, outbreaks of parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3) decreased due to infection control measures. However, a post-pandemic resurgence of PIV-3 has recently been observed. Nonetheless, the role of viral genetic epidemiology, possibly influenced by a genetic bottleneck effect, remains unexplored. We investigated the phylogenetic structure of the publicly available PIV-3 whole-genome and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene sequences spanning the last 65 years, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Sequences were retrieved from the nucleotide database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information using the search term "Human respirovirus 3." Sequence subsets covering all six genes of PIV-3 or the HN gene were designated as the whole-genome and HN surveillance data sets, respectively. Using these data sets, we constructed maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees and performed a time-scaled analysis using a Bayesian SkyGrid coalescent prior. A total of 455 whole-genome and 1,139 HN gene sequences were extracted, revealing 10 and 11 distinct lineages, respectively, with >98% concurrence in lineage assignments. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, only three single-lineage clusters were identified in Japan, Korea, and the USA. The inferred year of origin for PIV-3 was 1938 (1903-1963) for the whole-genome data set and 1955 (1930-1963) for the HN gene data set. Our study suggests that PIV-3 epidemics in the post-COVID era are likely influenced by a pandemic-driven bottleneck phenomenon and supports previous hypotheses suggesting s that PIV-3 originated during the early half of the 20th century.IMPORTANCEUsing publicly available parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3) whole-genome sequences, we estimated that PIV-3 originated during the 1930s, consistent with previous hypotheses. Lineage typing and time-scaled phylogenetic analysis revealed that PIV-3 experienced a bottleneck phenomenon in Korea and the USA during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. We identified the conservative hemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene as a viable alternative marker in long-term epidemiological studies of PIV-3 when whole-genome analysis is limited.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to assess clinical performance of a rapid antigen test (RAT) for screening asymptomatic patients during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) omicron outbreak.
    Methods: RAT with the routine real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) using the same nasopharyngeal swab in universal transport medium was performed for rapid screening of asymptomatic caregivers of emergent patients from March to April 2022 in a tertiary-care hospital in Korea. Clinical performance of RAT compared to that analyzed by rRT-PCR was evaluated.
    Results: A total of 900 caregivers were enrolled in this study, of which 14 (1.6%) were RAT-positive and 44 (5.0%) were positive for rRT-PCR. Overall sensitivity and specificity of RAT were 31.8% and 100.0%, respectively.
    Conclusions: Caution must be taken when using RAT as a screening test for asymptomatic caregivers as this may lead to outbreaks among high-risk patients.
