Assessing the generation and dispersal of respiratory particles using upper respiratory commensal bacteria as index organisms for respiratory pathogens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThere is a need to better understand the dispersal and spread of respiratory pathogens. However, carrying out controlled microbiology-based simulation studies is difficult, particularly if the target organism is highly pathogenic or is currently unknown.
