Microbiome Analysis for Wastewater Surveillance during COVID-19

Kyle D. Brumfield et al.

Summary: Wastewater surveillance combined with advanced molecular techniques can provide real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a community and help assess and mitigate COVID-19 outbreaks. The concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater samples reflects the incidence of COVID-19 cases. Wastewater microbiome analysis provides important information related to human health and is associated with the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Wastewater metagenomics can serve as an early warning system for communicable diseases.
