Huazhong University of Science and Technology: Using microbiome big data to help predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins

At present, the interrelationship between the environment and human health is receiving more and more attention, especially in today's society where the new crown pneumonia is ravaging the world, and it is particularly critical

On September 15, 2022, the international authoritative journal Journal of Hazardous Materials published a research paper entitled "The distinct microbial community patterns and pathogen transmission routes in Intensive Care Units" by Professor Ning Kang's team at the School of Life Sciences and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology

In hospital wards, cross-infection caused by microorganisms affects the patient's physical condition and treatment effect, especially in the ICU

The study first analyzed the differences

This study compares the microbial transmission patterns of different wards for the first time, reveals the risk of cross-infection caused by pathogenic bacteria in a closed environment through a variety of analytical methods, and puts forward feasible suggestions
