Gene deletion mutant exhibits increased permeability to propidium iodide and ethidium bromide. Exponentially growing GB11 WT, its isogenic ∆cas9 gene deletion mutant and the ∆cas9::cas9-complemented mutant were exposed to vancomycin on BA media (n=4), washed and stained with ethidium bromide (a) (left panel) or propidium iodide (b) (right panel). Fluorescence was measured at 605 nm for ethidium bromide and at 617 nm for propidium iodide. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001; ns, not significant. Data are shown as mean±sem. N=3–6 samples per scattergram in each graph. Circles represent for GB11 the WT; squares the GB11Δcas9 mutant; and triangles the GB11Δcas9::cas9-complemented mutant strain.

Patient-reported symptoms at each presentation. At each clinic visit, patients with long COVID were invited to report any symptoms they associated with their long COVID. Patients were allowed to report multiple symptoms, so total frequency of all symptoms is greater than the number of patients. If the patient reported resolution of symptoms, they were counted as ‘resolved’. At visit 1 (n=33), patients had experienced one confirmed infection. At visit 2 (n=33), patients had been vaccinated at least once and 12/33 experienced a confirmed reinfection. By visit 3 (n=15), patients had been vaccinated at least twice and 8/13 experienced a confirmed reinfection. By visit 3 (n=13) patients had been vaccinated at least three times and 10/13 experienced a confirmed reinfection.
