A team of researchers sought to identify the incidence, antimicrobial susceptibilities, and outcomes associated with bacterial and fungal secondary infections in a large cohort of patients with COVID-19.

The researchers’ objective was to investigate whether racial/ethnic minority groups, women, and older adults are underrepresented among participants in vaccine clinical trials.

Study investigators tested N95, 3-ply disposable surgical, 2-ply cotton-polyester, and heavy cotton masks to assess humidity levels and corresponding benefits.
