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 authors described racial disparities related to the HIV epidemic and compared key findings with the COVID-19 pandemic.
