Microbiome of a cruise ship: Analysis of the microbiome found on surfaces and crew members' hands

2025-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Cruise ships are relatively small, crowded spaces where infection control is especially important. There is limited information available about the composition of the microbiome found on frequently-touched surfaces in cruise ships. This study describes the microbial composition of cruise ship surfaces and crew member skin microbiomes. Fingertips of crew members and surfaces were sampled using agar plates. After cu...
