Heat and Hostility: How Substrate Temperature Shapes Bacterial Deposition Patterns and Pathogenesis in Evaporating Droplets
Amey Nitin Agharkar, Anmol Singh, Kush Kumar Dewangan +2
Hypothesis Droplets ejected from the host can directly settle on a substrate as fomite. In industrial environments, especially the food processing industries, the components mainta…

Evaporation of bacteria-laden surrogate respiratory fluid droplets: On a hydrophilic substrate versus contact-free environment confers differential bacterial infectivity
Amey Nitin Agharkar, Dipasree Hajra, Durbar Roy +4
The transmission of viruses/ bacteria cause infection predominantly via aerosols. The transmission mechanism of respiratory diseases is complex, including direct or indirect contac…
