Microbial load of the dissection halls doorknob. (A) Vestibule of the dissection hall with sinks and coat hooks, providing access to the dissection hall through two doors. (B) Doorknob of one of the doors of the dissection hall. (C) Changes in microbial load of the doorknob by groups of microorganisms and in total across the measurement time (before and after the course). (D) Microbial load of the doorknob, plotted by course day and time of measurement. Course day 11 had to be excluded (‡) due to a communication error with the microbiological lab. The original numeric data of this figure can also be found in Supplementary Table S4. CFU: colony forming units. CNS: coagulase-negative staphylococci. MIC micrococci, MND molds (not differentiated), ASF aerobic spore formers.
