Amplicon sequencing reveals bacterial diversity of indoor air microbiome in hospital buildings

Airborne transmission of pathogens in hospitals poses a significant risk for healthcare-associated infections. Traditionally, assessing microorganisms in hospital air relies on culture methods, limiting the identification process. Advances in genome sequencing technology now allow for more accurate...
