DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03775-7
Abstract: In hospital environments, droplets generated by urination within shared toilets may represent a route of dissemination for bacteria such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm), which contributes significantly to the burden of hospital-acquired infections. We investigated… read more here.
