The hospital sink drain biofilm resistome is independent of the corresponding microbiota, the environment and disinfection measures

2024-12-10

Abstract excerpt

In hospitals, the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) may occur via biofilms present in sink drains, which can lead to infections. Despite the potential role of sink drains in the transmission of ARB in nosocomial infections, routine surveillance of these drains is lacking in most hospitals. As a result, there is currently no comprehensive understanding of the transmission of ARB and the disseminat...
