In-hospital areas with distinct maintenance and staff/patient traffic have specific microbiome profiles, functions, and resistomes
9 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Hospitals are subject to strict microbial control. Stringent cleaning and confinement measures in hospitals lead to a decrease in microbial diversity, but an increase in resistance genes. Given the rise of antimicrobial resistances and healthcare-associated infections, understanding the hospital microbiome and its resistome is crucial. This study compared the microbiome and resistome at different levels of...
