Abstract:

Smartphones are breeding grounds for bacteria normally located on the human body. We want to know how diverse the bacteria on smartphones are. We also want to study the relationship between the bacterial microbiomes of mothers and children by seeing if there’s a correlation between bacteria found on their smartphones.
