Microbial communities profiling in intensive care units expose limitations in current sanitary standards

2019-05-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hospital-associated infections (HAIs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units (ICUs) and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Organisms causing these infections are often present on surfaces around the patient. Given that microbiotas may vary across different ICUs, the HAI-related microbial signatures within these units remain underexplored. In this study, we u...
