Abstract Human occupied built environments are no longer confined to Earth. In fact, there have been humans living and working in low-Earth orbit on the International Space Station (ISS) since November 2000. With NASA’s Artemis missions age of commercial space stations set begin, more human-occupied spacecraft than ever will be Earth’s beyond. On Earth ISS, microbes, especially fungi, can found dust grow when unexpected, elevated moisture conditions occur. However, we do not yet know how indoor microbiomes Earth-based homes ISS differ due their unique environmental conditions. Here show that bacterial fungal communities different collected from vacuum bags with being diverse (465 OTUs 237 ASVs) compared (102 102 ASVs). When these locations were exposed varying equilibrium relative humidity (ERH), also significant community composition changes as ERH time increased (Bray Curtis: R 2 = 0.35, P 0.001). These findings inform future design promote healthy support crew health, integrity, planetary protection.

This article examines the impact of fluid flow dynamics on microbial growth, distribution, and control within food processing systems. Fluid flows, specifically laminar turbulent significantly influence behaviors, such as biofilm development adhesion. Laminar is highly conducive to formation attachment because smooth steady. makes it much more difficult sterilize surface. Turbulent flow, however, due its chaotic motion shear forces that are present, inhibits growth disrupts attachment; also has potential contaminate surfaces by dispersing microorganisms. Computational (CFD) highlighted an essential component for processors predict movement enhance numerous fluid-dependent operations, including mixing, cooling, spray drying, heat transfer. analysis underscores significance in controlling hazards settings, discusses some interventions, antimicrobial surface treatments properly designed equipment. Each process step from mixing which influences transfer ensuring uniform distribution optimizing removal, presents unique requirements affecting formation, contamination control. Food can improve management product safety adjusting rates, types, equipment configurations. helps provide understanding fluid–microbe interactions offers actionable insights advance practices, higher standards quality

Abstract To protect healthcare workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, rigorous efforts were made to reduce infection rates among workers (HCWs), especially prior vaccine availability. This study aimed investigate prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections HCWs and identify potential risk factors associated with transmission. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar from 1 December 2019 5 February 2024. From 498 initial records, 190 articles reviewed, 63 studies eligible. ROBINS-E tool revealed a lower bias in several domains; however, some concerns related confounding exposure measurement identified. Globally, 11% (95% confidence interval (CI) 9–13) 283,932 infected SARS-CoV-2. Infection constellation major circulating variants.
