Table 1 The total, respirable and non-respirable aerobic viable bacterial count (CFU/m3 of air sampled) from the barn air

From: Multiple exposures to swine barn air induce lung inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness

Classification

Viable aerobic bacterial count × 104 (CFU/m3 of sampled air)*

Total

12.10 ± 8.47

Respirable

4.85 ± 4.97

Non-respirable

7.26 ± 7.50
