Where Should We Sample? Identifying Representative Sampling Sites for Surveillance of Hospital Sink Reservoirs

2026-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Objectives Hospital sink systems are increasingly recognized as reservoirs of clinically relevant bacteria, including multidrug-resistant organisms. However, evidence guiding the selection of representative sampling locations within sink systems remains limited. We compared culture-based bacterial diversity, temporal detection patterns, and antimicrobial resistance gene profiles acro...
