Abstract
En 中文
Hospital sinks are recognised polymicrobial reservoirs for multi-drug resistant organisms and have been implicated in patient transmission and outbreaks. Earlier studies on sink-associated microbes predominantly focused on specific species or resistance mechanisms (e.g. carbapenemases) using targeted microbiological methods. More recently, less selective approaches (e.g. metagenomic sequencing) have enabled broader characterisation of these microbial communities.
