Respiratory Microbial Co-infection With SARS-CoV-2	2020-08-25		.txt	text/plain	4583	281	55	We determined the prevalence and type of a wide variety of respiratory pathogens in 12,075 United States subjects tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection in March and April 2020. In the present study, we present data on the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and other bacterial, viral and fungal respiratory pathogens in samples taken from over 12,000 United States symptomatic subjects tested for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in a manner which permitted assessment of the presence of co-pathogens as well as SARS-CoV-2. The t-test for independent group comparison was used to compare age of the study subjects across gender, SARS-CoV-2 ± patients and residential versus outpatients. The higher coinfection rate observed in the present study may be due to the criteria applied to SARS-CoV-2 testing eligibility at the time, which was heavily weighted toward symptomatic patients, and whom would be more likely to have a current infection. The infection rate for these other respiratory pathogens throughout the United States is much greater than that of SARS-CoV-2 itself in subjects seeking SARS-CoV-2 testing.	./cache/cord-324058-20drr99p.txt	./txt/cord-324058-20drr99p.txt
