Summary: Latest from our Journal Club: Measles cases are resurging globally, FDA reports the most common microorganisms in pharmaceuticals, and DNA metabarcoding of air samples from waste sorting plants enhances microbial risk assessment.
Using DNA metabarcoding in air samples from waste sorting plants can substantially improve microbial risk assessment by capturing both culturable and non-culturable organisms with species-level precision. This facilitates the identification of hazardous taxa that conventional methods overlook.
