Microbiology Time – December 2022
In this December’s Microbiology Time, here’s a little present for you: the top three studies of the month! We start with a study comparing the efficacy of different swab types to collect evidence on fabric, we continue with an investigation of a school MRSA outbreak in Switzerland, and we finish with a culturomics analysis of the endometrial microbiome.
