Declarations
:
: The infection prevention and control team provided anonymized, retrospective data of patient samples (throat, nose, axilla-groin, and rectal swabs) collected during routine clinical care and did not alter usual clinical practice. Consequently, formal ethical review and approval were not required.
: During the preparation of this work, the authors used chatGPT in order to optimize conciseness and clarity of textual pieces. After using this tool, the authors reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the published article. Additionally, original photographs of sampling materials were converted to line drawings by use of chatGPT.
: RPSS provided passive samplers at cost price. All other authors declare that they have no competing interests.
