Functional metagenomics of spacecraft assembly cleanrooms: Presence of virulence factors associated with human pathogens.

Functional metagenomics of spacecraft assembly cleanrooms: Presence of virulence factors associated with human pathogens.

Strict planetary protection practices are implemented during spacecraft assembly to prevent inadvertent transfer of earth microorganisms to other planetary bodies. Therefore, spacecraft are assembled in cleanrooms, which undergo strict cleaning and decontamination procedures to reduce total microbia...
