Respiratory specimens positive for coronavirus infection according to a real-time PCR assay were tested with CT12-mCODEHOP primers using a one-step assay.
N is the number of tested specimens that were positive for coronavirus infection.
Respiratory specimens that were detected with CT12-mCODEHOP primers: specimens number (Np) and its fraction (%) from the total number of this kind, along with their cycle threshold number range, mean and median values [Ctp (Ctp mean)] established with real-time PCR assay.
Respiratory specimens that were not detected with CT12-mCODEHOP primers: specimens number (Nn) and its fraction (%) from the total number of this kind, along with their cycle threshold number range, mean and median values [Ctn (Ctn mean)] established with real-time PCR assay.
