Abstract
The present invention provides methods to inhibit or reduce microbial growth in a built environment, with a damp environment. Also disclosed herein is a kit used to identify and quantify the expression of one or more gene(s) or one or more product(s) thereof, of one or more microbe(s) in at least one sample obtained from a built environment.
Claims24
A method of reducing or inhibiting microbial growth in a built environment comprising:
- a) identifying microbial growth by detecting and quantifying one or more gene(s) or product(s) thereof selected from Table 2 in at least one sample collected from the built environment, wherein the one or more gene(s) and product(s) thereof are associated with a bio-process of growth or sporulation of a microbe;
- and
- b) inhibiting or reducing microbial growth in the built environment based on results of step a).
