Hospital Sinks: Hidden Germ Hotspots?!

Did you know hospital sink drains are basically bacteria hotels? A new study found that these drains, especially in ICUs and General Medicine wards, are packed with all kinds of bacteria—including some superbugs resistant to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common, and some strains even carry genes that make them tough to treat. Makes you think twice about what’s lurking just out of sight in hospitals! Infection control teams definitely have their work cut out for them. #HospitalHygiene #AntibioticResistance #Superbugs #InfectionControl #ScienceNews #Health
