Ecological dynamics of three persistent opportunistic pathogens in hospital sinks and their potential antagonistic bacteria.

Abstract excerpt

Sinks contaminated with opportunistic pathogens are a source of hospital-acquired infections, responsible for morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Understanding pathogen behavior in sinks is essential for preventing their spread. Only a few studies have examined how sink environments affect pathogen distribution through changes in drain microbiota. This research uses an integrative...
