SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in exhaled aerosol

In a study published in the open-access journal Influenza and other Respiratory Viruses, researchers investigated if severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be detected in exhaled aerosol samples obtained from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during many different types of breathing and coughing. They also analyzed how SARS-CoV-2 infection may affect the size and number of exhaled aerosol particles.

A comprehensive analysis places antimicrobial resistance among leading causes of death globally

The most comprehensive estimate of the global impact of antimicrobial resistance thus far is published in The Lancet today. It reveals that more than 1.2 million people (and potentially millions more) around the world died in 2019 as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections – placing it among the leading causes of death.
