Microbial communities on station and train surfaces in Chennai Metro: Insights into urban transit microbiome

2025-03-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Urban public transport systems, particularly metro networks, serve as key hubs for microbial transmission, yet the urban microbiome in densely populated regions like India remains poorly characterized. These environments harbour diverse microbial communities, including beneficial and pathogenic species, which can influence public health. The COVID-19 pandemic has further und...
