Assessment of air infectious contamination during wound care in a burn intensive care unit using shotgun metagenomics
This study demonstrates the significant impact of wound care on airborne microbial contamination in BICUs. Clinical metagenomics provides an advanced culture-independent approach to assess aerobiological risks, supporting improved infection control strategies in health care settings.
