Outbreak simulation on the neonatal ward using silica nanoparticles with encapsulated DNA: unmasking of key spread areas
This study pioneers SPED utilization in simulating outbreak dynamics. By unmasking staff areas as potential key trigger spots for ward-wide dissemination the revealed patterns could contribute to a more comprehensive view of outbreak events leading to rethinking of hygiene measures and training to reduce the rate of nosocomial infections in hospitals.
