Station and train surface microbiomes of Mexico City’s metro (subway/underground)

2019-08-14

Abstract excerpt

The metro is one of the more representative urban systems of Mexico City, and it transports approximately 4.5 million commuters every day. Large crowds promote the constant exchange of human and environmental microbes.
