• Aerosol exposure potential of microbes from patient-facing sink drains was assessed • Bacteria matched from sink drain biofilms, deposited droplets and aerosols • Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in rooms matched drain S. maltophilia • Sink drain biofilms contributed to the bacterial ecology of hospital room air
