Metagenomic Profiling of Airborne Microbial Communities from Aircraft Filters and Face Masks

2025-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Airborne microbial communities, although often challenging to study due to low biomass, play crucial roles in public health and pathogen transmission. Through shotgun metagenomics, this study utilizes non-invasive air sampling of face masks and aircraft cabin filters to investigate microbial diversity in environments with frequent human interactions, including hospitals and airplanes. A comprehensive sampling and...
