Weill Cornell study: New species are all around us May 27, 2021 About 12,000 bacteria and viruses collected in a sampling from public transit systems and hospitals around the world from 2015 to 2017 had never before been identified, acc...

An international consortium reports the largest-ever global metagenomic study of urban microbiomes, spanning the air and the surfaces of multiple cities. The project, which sequenced and analyzed samples collected from public transit systems and hospitals in 60 cities around the world, features comprehensive analysis and annotation for all the microbial species identified -- including thousands of viruses and bacteria and two archaea not found in reference databases. The study appears May 26 in ...

Different cities have their own microbial fingerprint, a global study reports "If you gave me your shoe, I could tell you with about 90% accuracy the city you came from," the authors boast. Reset An international team of researchers says that every city has its own fingerprint — in the shape of pathogens. Image credits Denis Poltoradnev. The largest ever genetic study of urban microbiomes (including both surfaces and the air in 60 cities worldwide) reports that each city has its own microbial...

About 12,000 bacteria and viruses collected in a sampling from public transit systems and hospitals around the world from 2015 to 2017 had never before been identified, according to a study by the International MetaSUB Consortium, a global effort at tracking microbes that is led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
