Crawling-induced floor dust resuspension affects the microbiota of the infant breathing zone

Crawling-induced floor dust resuspension affects the microbiota of the infant breathing zone

Abstract Background Floor dust is commonly used for microbial determinations in epidemiological studies to estimate early-life indoor microbial exposures. Resuspension of floor dust and its impact on infant microbial exposure is, however, little explored. The aim of our study was to investigate how...
