Air sampling recovered two STEC isolates from passive collectors; active samplers detected none
Researchers used passive cloth collectors (139 samples, 31 locations) and active mechanical samplers (173 samples, limited deployment) and recovered two STEC isolates from passive samplers and none from active samplers; presenters concluded that under current methods "air is a limited vector for STEC movement in this region."
