Contribution of Vegetation to the Microbial Composition of Nearby Outdoor Air. [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016 UnlabelledGiven that epiphytic microbes are often found in large population sizes on plants, we tested the hypothesis that plants are quantitatively important local sources of airborne microorganisms. The abundance of microbial communities, determined by

Microbiological agents as health risks in indoor air. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1991 Ambient air may be contaminated with or carry significant levels of a variety of potentially harmful microorganisms. There are three major sources of such microbes: a) those arising from microbial decomposition of various substrates associated with particular occupations (e.g., "moldy" hay leading to hypersensitivity pneumonitis), b) those associated ...

Microbiology, sensory evaluation and shelf life of irradiated chicken breast fillets stored in air or vacuum [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011 This work investigated the effects of different packaging methods (air and vacuum) combined with irradiation (0.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kGy) on the preservation of chicken breast fillets stored at 1ºC for up to 18 days by sensorial test, determination of pH and ...

QuEChER method for air microbiological monitoring in hospital environments
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2020 Introduction: Nosocomial pathogens have become a priority issue for public health, since they are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients and the development of multi-resistant microorganisms, as well. Recent studies found strong evidence that airborne transmission plays a key role in many nosocomial infections. Thus,

The Microbiology of the Upper Air. II [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1934 The collection of micro-organisms from the air at various altitudes has interested observers for a considerable time. Pasteur, one of the first workers in this field, made investigations by climbing the Alps to obtain his samples. More recently the airplane has made it possible for others to make studies on the micro-organisms found in the upper air ...

Prolongation of Microbiological Air Sampling by a Monolayer on Agar Gel [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1969 The useful life of agar in aerosol samplers is greatly extended by treatment with a dilute emulsion of oxyethylene docosanol. Growth of viable organisms is unaffected.

Microbial Flow Within an Air-Phyllosphere-Soil Continuum
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The phyllosphere is populated by numerous microorganisms. Microbes from the wider environment, i.e., air and soil, are considered key contributors to phyllosphere microbial communities, but their contribution is unclear.

Normal breathing releases SARS-CoV-2 into the air
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021 This study tests the release of SARS-CoV-2 RNA into the air during normal breathing, without any sign of possible risk of contagion such as coughing, sneezing or talking.
