<i>Acinetobacter</i> spp. with lower susceptibility to quaternary ammonium compounds enriched in microbial communities of frequently used sinks

2025-09-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Sanitary environments that undergo frequent cleaning and disinfection may harbor microbial communities with potential health risks. While biofilms in healthcare settings are well studied, comparatively less is known about sink microbiomes in public and educational buildings, where hundreds of people may interact with shared sink fixtures. This study characterized the spatial and temporal heterog...
