Environmental Surveillance of Bacteria in a New Intensive Care Unit using Plate Sweeps

2025-09-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The hospital environment plays a critical role in the transmission of infectious diseases. Surveillance methods often rely on selective enrichment or deep metagenomic sequencing, which both have significant drawbacks in terms of community resolution and cost. Plate sweeps provide a practical moderate approach to cultivate a wide range of bacteria, capturing more diversity than a single colony...
