AbstractBacterial community composition and presence of antibiotic resistance genes (mecA,tetK, andvanA) on personal mobile devices (PMDs) of nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) were evaluated. Antibiotic resistance genes on PMDs decreased at the end of the shift, and a several microbial genera changed.
