Contact-Mediated Bacterial Transmission and Infection Risk Dynamics in a Newly Opened Hospital Ward

2025-12-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The hospital microbiome significantly influences patient recovery and clinical outcomes. However, the dynamics of microbial colonization and transmission following initial patient occupancy remain poorly understood. Here, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to investigate bacterial community dynamics on surfaces within neurosurgery ward and patients as a new hospital became op...
