Man-made microbial resistances in built environments

The environmental microbiota can have important implications for our well-being. Here, the authors describe the composition of microbiomes from diverse buildings, including samples from clinical environments, and show that cleaner environments are associated with a loss of microbial diversity and an...

description The environmental microbiota can have important implications for our well-being. Here, the authors describe the composition of microbiomes from diverse buildings, including samples from clinical environments, and show that cleaner environments are associated with a loss of microbial diversity and an increase in genes associated with antibiotic resistance.
