Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to clarify micro propagation mechanism of pathogenic substances within a group and control its propagation from the viewpoint of building public health and use it for prevention of infection. For that reason, we analyzed the propagation by directly analyzing all genes of the microbial flora (Micro-Biome, microbiome), indoor environment and human origin, analyzing its propagation considering the process of inactivation of pathogenic substances, Analyze the possibility of propagation of pathogenic substances by human contact, and (3) develop a method to predict the propagation of pathogenic substances specifically by human behavior simulation.
