    Abstract Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we developed and validated a whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based clinical test for fungal species identification on clinical isolates. The identification is mainly based on the fungal ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as the primary marker, and additional marker and genomic analysis applied for species within the Mucorales family (using the 28S rRNA gene) and

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to assess whether the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Epsilon variant (B.1.429/427) is more virulent, leading to more hospitalization and more severe disease requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
    Methods: SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance was performed on respiratory samples from 231 unique patients, collected at a single large health system in Southern California between November 2020 and March 2021 during the winter surge.
    Results: The frequencies of the Epsilon variant among outpatients, hospitalized patients, and ICU patients were indifferent.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that the Epsilon variant is not associated with increased hospitalization and ICU admission.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Many clinicians utilize standard culture of voided urine to guide treatment for women with recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI). However, despite antibiotic treatment, symptoms may persist and events frequently recur. The cyclic nature and ineffective treatment of RUTI suggest that underlying uropathogens pass undetected because of the preferential growth of Escherichia coli. Expanded quantitative urine culture (EQUC) detects more clinically relevant microbes. The objective of this study was to assess how urine collection and culture methods influence microbial detection in RUTI patients.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled symptomatic adult women with an established RUTI diagnosis. Participants contributed both midstream voided and catheterized urine specimens for culture via both standard urine culture (SUC) and EQUC. Presence and abundance of microbiota were compared between culture and collection methods.
    Results: Forty-three symptomatic women participants (mean age 67 years) contributed specimens. Compared to SUC, EQUC detected more unique bacterial species and consistently detected more uropathogens from catheterized and voided urine specimens. For both collection methods, the most commonly detected uropathogens by EQUC were E. coli (catheterized: n = 8, voided: n = 12) and E. faecalis (catheterized: n = 7, voided: n = 17). Compared to catheterized urine samples assessed by EQUC, SUC often missed uropathogens, and culture of voided urines by either method yielded high false-positive rates.
    Conclusions: In women with symptomatic RUTI, SUC and assessment of voided urines have clinically relevant limitations in uropathogen detection. These results suggest that, in this population, catheterized specimens analyzed via EQUC provide clinically relevant information for appropriate diagnosis.

    Abstract Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) can influence access to cancer care, clinical trials, and oncologic outcomes. We investigated the association between SDOH, distance from treatment center, and treatment type with outcomes in human papillomavirus associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [HPV(+)OPSCC] patients treated at a tertiary care center.
    Study design: Retrospective review.
    Methods: HPV(+)OPSCC patients treated surgically from 2006 to 2021 were selected from our departmental Oropharyngeal Cancer RedCap database. Demographic data, treatment, and oncologic outcomes were extracted. Distance was calculated in miles between the centroid of each patient zip code and our hospital zip code (zipdistance).
    Results: 874 patients (89 % male; mean age: 58 years) were identified. Most patients (96 %) reported Non-Hispanic White as their primary race. 204 patients (23 %) had a high-school degree or less, 217 patients (25 %) reported some college education or a 2-year degree, 153 patients (18 %) completed a four-year college degree, and 155 patients (18 %) had post-graduate degrees. Relative to those with a high-school degree, patients with higher levels of education were more likely to live further away from our institution (p < 0.0001). Patients who received adjuvant radiation therapy elsewhere lived, on average, 104 miles further away than patients receiving radiation at our institution (Estimate 104.3, 95 % CI 14.2-194.4, p-value = 0.02). In univariable Cox PH models, oncologic outcomes did not significantly differ by zipdistance.
    Conclusions: Education level-and access to resources-varied proportionally to a patient's distance from our center. Patients travelling further distances for surgical management of OPSCC were more likely to pursue adjuvant radiation therapy at an outside institution. Distance traveled was not associated with oncologic outcomes. Breaking down barriers to currently excluded populations may improve access to clinical trials and improve oncologic outcomes for diverse patient populations.

    Abstract The current pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in the approval of numerous molecular diagnostic assays with various performance and technical capacities. There are limited data comparing performance among assays. We conducted a retrospective analysis of >10,000 test results among three widely used RT-PCR assays for coronavirus disease 2019 (CDC, Simplexa Direct, and TaqPath) to assess performance characteristics. We also retested remnant weakly positive specimens to assess analytical sensitivity. All assays had strong linear correlation and little bias among C

    Abstract Lactobacillus crispatus is a well-established probiotic with antimicrobial activity against pathogens across several niches of the human body generally attributed to the production of bacteriostatic molecules, including hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid. Here, we show that the cell-free supernatants of clinical isolates of L. crispatus harbor robust bactericidal activity. We further identify phenyl-lactic acid as a bactericidal compound with properties and a susceptibility range nearly identical to that of the cell-free supernatant. As such, we hypothesize that phenyl-lactic acid is a key active ingredient in L. crispatus supernatant.
