Using Lambda phages as a proxy for pathogen transmission in hospitals

2022-09-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> One major concern in hospitalized patients is infections with pathogens borne on surfaces, patients, and healthcare workers. Fundamental to controlling nosocomial infections is identifying the sources of pathogens, monitoring the processes responsible for their transmission, and evaluating the efficacy of the procedures employed for restricting their transmission. Here we present a method using th...
