Abstract
We used droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) specific to bacteria of the healthy human respiratory tract as a sensitive means of detecting and quantifying airborne respiratory material within indoor air. The method can be used in spaces where there are high concentrations of dust and other particles. Using this method, we are able to compare the airborne infection risk of different spaces as it relates to ventilation rate and occupancy.
