Viral Genotyping
RECRUITMENT
In 10 of the 61 patients, viral genotyping was performed by testing for characteristic
single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the SARS-CoV-2 spike gene. The samples of these
patients harbored mutations specific for variant-of-concern (VOC) omicron (E484A and/or
S371L/P in combination with wildtype at position L452), being representative for the
ongoing omicron wave in Germany at the time of patient recruitment.
