Passenger-surface microbiome interactions in the subway of Mexico City

D. Vargas-Robles, C. Gonzalez-Cedillo, A. M. Hernandez, L. D. Alcaraz, M. Peimbert

The paper characterizes subway surface microbiomes in Mexico City and finds passenger hand microbiomes reflect surface diversity and pathogen presence, with rapid microbial resettling after cleaning.
