In order to assess the presence of respiratory pathogens on "high-touch" surfaces and inform sanitation practices at schools, pre-selected surfaces in elementary schools in Seattle, WA, USA were sampled weekly and tested by RT-PCR for 25 viral respiratory pathogens (including SARS-CoV-2 retrospectively) and during 2019-2020 winter respiratory illness season. Viral pathogens (rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza) known to cause respiratory illness were detected on commonly touched surfaces, especially wooden surfaces, and matched the patterns of circulating virus in the community.
为了评估“高频接触”表面上呼吸道病原体的存在情况,并为学校的卫生措施提供依据,在美国华盛顿州西雅图市的小学中,预先选定的表面每周进行采样,并在2019 - 2020年冬季呼吸道疾病季节通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测25种病毒性呼吸道病原体(包括回顾性检测的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2)。在经常接触的表面上检测到了已知会引起呼吸道疾病的病毒病原体(鼻病毒、腺病毒、流感病毒),尤其是木质表面,并且这些病原体与社区中病毒的传播模式相匹配。
