Co-infection with SARS-COV-2 Omicron and Delta Variants Revealed by Genomic Surveillance | medRxiv | Virus World | Scoop.it
From www.medrxiv.org - February 15, 2022 11:37 AM

We identified the co-infection of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variants in two epidemiologically unrelated patients with chronic kidney disease requiring haemodialysis. Both SARS-CoV-2 variants were co-circulating locally at the time of detection. Amplicon- and probe-based sequencing using short- and long-read technologies identified and quantified Omicron and Delta subpopulations in respiratory samples from the two patients. These findings highlight the importance of genomic surveillance in vulnerable populations.
