“…The use of face-masks in an infected individual significantly reduces detection of influenza virus RNA in respiratory droplets and seasonal coronavirus RNA in aerosols 6 . Therefore, collection of respiratory samples in face-masks where emitted pathogen densities are highest 7 , 8 , 9 , offers potential advantages. We have been developing this approach, which we term face-mask sampling (FMS), to detect and quantify exhaled pathogens, initially to study tuberculosis 10 , 11 , 12 .…”

“…Various studies conducted during flu seasons have shown the feasibility of detecting viruses in exhaled breath condensates using commercially available bio-samplers and cough sampling systems [ 9 11 ]. Even face mask sampling–a low-cost method–has also proved to be effective for analyzing exhaled/expelled respiratory particles and detecting respiratory pathogens like the influenza virus [ 12 , 13 ]. Our earlier work has demonstrated that respiratory particles captured on a membrane attached to N-95 masks worn by patients of tuberculosis (TB), another air-borne disease, can be used to detect and isolate viable TB bacterial RNA in a noninvasive manner with 96% accuracy [ 14 ].…”
