Article Abstract
Acinetobacter spp. are found in 53% of air colonization samples from the hospital environment. In this work, we sequenced all the genome of airborne Acinetobacter sp. strain 5-2Ac02. We found important features at the genomic level in regards to the rhizome. By phylogenetic analysis, A. towneri was the species most closely related to Acinetobacter sp. 5-2Ac02.

Viable pathogenic microorganisms in atmospheric particles pose notable health risks, while their exposure characteristics and health risks across climate zones remain unclear. This study collected 399 particulate samples from automobile air conditioning filters in eight Chinese cities across five climate zones, analyzing microbial concentration, viability, and pathogenicity via microbial culture, fluorescence staining, and high-throughput sequencing. Health risks were evaluated with quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) method.

Background: Bioaerosols, which include airborne bacteria, are a growing concern for public health, especially near intensive farming operations that generate high concentrations of microorganisms. Intensive farms, such as those for cattle, can release potentially pathogenic bacteria into the air, posing risks to nearby communities and farmworkers. Traditional sampling methods are often limited, as they require stationary collection points and can miss key information about how these bioaerosols disperse.

Both and carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) can spread through the air, increasing infection risks. Therefore, monitoring their presence in the air is of great significance, especially in hospitals.

Aeration tanks at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) emit significant amounts of bioaerosols containing potentially hazardous infectious material. Occupational exposure to airborne pathogens can pose health risks to WWTP workers. Bioaerosol samples collected at aeration tanks of two typical municipal WWTPs that use different aeration modes were analysed to investigate the composition and diversity of airborne bacteria in wastewater environments, using the Illumina MiSeq platform.

This study investigated the spatial distribution patterns of airborne bacterial concentrations and microbial community structures in a modern commercial layer facility housing approximately 50,000 laying hens equipped with advanced environmental control systems. Air samples were systematically collected at 50 strategically distributed locations using a six-stage Andersen microbial air sampler, while environmental samples (dust, manure, intestinal contents) were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results demonstrated a distinct longitudinal gradient in airborne bacterial concentrations, progressively increasing from the air inlet (883±177 CFU/m³) to exhaust fans (12,650±813 CFU/m³), with a facility-wide mean concentration of 5,618±530 CFU/m³.
