Microbiome analysis and confocal microscopy of used kitchen sponges reveal massive colonization by Acinetobacter, Moraxella and Chryseobacterium species.
Cardinale M, Kaiser D, Lueders T, Schnell S, Egert M. Cardinale M, et al. Sci Rep. 2017 Jul 19;7(1):5791. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-06055-9. Sci Rep. 2017. PMID: 28725026 Free PMC article.
The built environment (BE) and in particular kitchen environments harbor a remarkable microbial diversity, including pathogens. We analyzed the bacterial microbiome of used kitchen sponges by 454-pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes and fluorescence in sit …

Minority report: small-scale metagenomic analysis of the non-bacterial kitchen sponge microbiota.
Brandau L, Jacksch S, Weis S, Schnell S, Egert M. Brandau L, et al. Arch Microbiol. 2022 Jun 4;204(7):363. doi: 10.1007/s00203-022-02969-9. Arch Microbiol. 2022. PMID: 35661258 Free PMC article.
Viruses, archaea, and eukaryotes in kitchen sponges, however, have not been examined in detail so far. To increase knowledge on the non-bacterial kitchen sponge microbiota and its potential hygienic relevance, we investigated five used kitche …

Viability discrimination of bacterial microbiomes in home kitchen dish sponges using propidium monoazide treatment.
Carstens CK, Salazar JK, Sharma S, Chan W, Darkoh C. Carstens CK, et al. Environ Microbiol Rep. 2024 Oct;16(5):e70006. doi: 10.1111/1758-2229.70006. Environ Microbiol Rep. 2024. PMID: 39440931 Free PMC article.
The taxonomic abundance profiles of total and viable sponge microbiomes did not vary significantly. The numbers of unique bacterial species (p = 0.0465) and foodborne pathogens (p = 0.0102) identified were significantly lower in viable sponge microbiomes …
