@drcameronjones: I swabbed a Melbourne tram expecting germs galore… but here’s what actually showed up 🧫 🚋 ⠀ As a microbiologist, I tested high-touch surfaces: stop buttons, seats, handles. The result? Almost nothing. ⠀ So, what gives? Either: 1️⃣ The tram had just been cleaned, 2️⃣ The materials have antimicrobial coatings 3️⃣ We’re not giving public transport the credit it deserves ⠀ Either way, it’s rare to find this level of cleanliness in high-traffic spaces - especially on public transport. ⠀ A big win for Melbourne trams! #drcameronjones #mould #blackmould #bacteria #publictransport #hygiene #trams #publichealth #scienceexperiment #mouldtesting #microbiology

I think you need to provide more details such as time you swabbed, busy day or chill and how long since it was cleaned the last time

What was the growth medium? NA? A blood agar? SOA? 1-2% of bacteria can be cultured due to limitations in medium, so perhaps it’s the wrong agar or broth. Not to mention viruses in drop nucleus on these surfaces!!

Did you use negative and positive controls? It’s the only way to get a conclusion

You can conclude that the places you swabbed on the tram, at the time you swabbed them, were relatively clean. Thats all you can conclude from this single test.

Public transport and high touch areas in public make me want to scream I won’t even sit on my couch or anything in my house until I’ve changed out of the clothes I was wearing in public

Dear lord, this regular tram goer was expecting the worst. Since COVID I’m definitely far more conscious of touching much on my tram rides, but this is kinda reassuring.
