SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) S gene [Cycle Threshold #] in Oropharyngeal wash by NAA with probe detection
Active
Term Description
Quantitative detection (Cq/Ct value) of nucleic acids within the spike (S) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in oropharyngeal wash (oral rinse, gargle) samples by nucleic acid amplification (NAA) with probe-based detection methods.

Part Descriptions
LP418046-1 SARS coronavirus 2 S gene
The Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first known as 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), was first identified as the cause of a respiratory illness outbreak, later defined as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), in Wuhan, China. The full genome of the SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 was first posted by Chinese health authorities in GenBank, the NIH genetic sequence database, and in the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAI) portal. This facilitated detection of the virus globally with subsequent sequences being nearly identical, suggesting a single, recent emergence from a virus related to bat coronaviruses and the SARS coronavirus. Real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) tests targeting regions within genes, including RdRp, S, N, M, and E genes, specific to SARS-CoV-2 have been developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and others for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Some assays only detect SARS-CoV-2 and other assays detect other strains (e.g. SARS-CoV) that are genetically similar.[CDC: coronavirus/2019-ncov][https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance]

LP422509-2 Oropharyngeal wash
Oropharyngeal wash, also known as gargle, oral rinse or throat wash, includes a sampling of the entire oral cavity, including the oropharyngeal, nasopharynx, tongue, saliva, larynx and oral mucosa. The gargle sample collection method involves a patient gargling a sterile saline solution and spitting it into a collection tube. The sample may be used for the molecular detection of various respiratory infections, including SARS coronavirus 2 (COVID-19).
