Longitudinal Metagenomic Analysis of Hospital Air Identifies Clinically Relevant Microbes.

We describe the sampling of sixty-three uncultured hospital air samples collected over a six-month period and analysis using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Our primary goals were to determine the longitudinal metagenomic variability of this environment, identify and characterize genomes of potentia...
