A pilot metagenomic study reveals that community derived mobile phones are reservoirs of viable pathogenic microbes
Abstract There is increasing attention focussed on the risks associated with mobile phones possibly serving as ‘Trojan Horse’ fomites for microbial transmission in healthcare settings. However, little is reported on the presence of microbes on community derived mobile phones which in 2021, numbered...
