Strain-resolved analysis of hospital rooms and infants reveals overlap between the human and room microbiome

It is thought that the hospital environment may contribute to infant microbiome development. Here, Brooks et al. present a genome-resolved metagenomic study of microbial genotypes from the infant gut and from neonatal intensive care unit rooms, showing that some strains are found in both infants and...
