Demonstrates genomic tracking of microbial contamination in pharmaceutical cleanrooms, suggesting improved risk management strategies.

The aim is to characterize microbial contamination in pharmaceutical environments using whole-genome sequencing.
Utilized whole-genome sequencing to analyze microbial populations in a sterile vaccine production line.
Combined environmental monitoring with targeted genomic investigation for microbial isolates.
Integrated SNP-based phylogeny and metadata for mapping contamination pathways.
Identified five dominant microbial species with distinct genomic features.
Reconstructed four contamination chains linking different areas within the manufacturing facility.
Found that antibiotic resistance and virulence factors were concentrated in specific microbial species.

Li et al. (2026) studied this question.
