Bacterial and fungal load quantitative and qualitative assessment of indoor air in Portuguese long-term and acute healthcare settings

2023-06-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> In healthcare-associated infections, the major transmission route is assumed to be the direct or indirect contact between patients, staff, and the environment. However, little is known about the air role as a pool for pathogens and multidrug resistance (MDR) in healthcare settings. The aim of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively compare microbial air quality in a Portuguese long...
