From: Plasma microbial cell-free DNA load is associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19
Non-survivors of severe COVID-19 infection had higher microbial cell-free DNA molecules per microliter of plasma by metagenomic sequencing compared to survivors (median [interquartile range]: 11,125 [650–26,436] vs. 661 [1], Wilcoxon test p-value = 0.04) and a trend for higher number of identified microbes per sample (3.5 [1.8–4.3] vs. 1.0 [0–2.5], Wilcoxon test p-value = 0.06)
