This builds on the SinkBug group's earlier work in @thejhi.bsky.social www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019... where we showed that sink infrastructure in hospitals was common, highly varied, and that antibiotics were detected in a third of sink-traps.
Survey of healthcare-associated sink infrastructure, and sink trap antibiotic residues and biochemistry, in twenty-nine UK hospitals
Hospital sinks are linked to healthcare-associated infections. Antibiotics and chemicals
in sink traps can select for pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Optimizing
sink design and usage can...
