Open AccessCrawling-induced floor dust resuspension affects the microbiota of the infant breathing zone
Floor dust is commonly used for microbial determinations in epidemiological studies to estimate early-life indoor microbial exposures. Resuspension of floor dust and its impact on infant microbial exposure is,...
