Ever wondered what's lurking on your mobile phone? We dive into the world of mobile microbes with groundbreaking research from Bond University. Using metagenomics, they swabbed phones from conference attendees, uncovering a hidden ecosystem of around 2,000 types of bacteria and fungi, including antibiotic-resistant genes! Inspired by their findings, we conducted our own swab test on the phones of Weekend Sunrise hosts Matt Doran and Monique Wright. The result? Our petri plates showed a surprising dominance of Candida germs! 📱💡 Join us as we explore the unseen germs on your phone and the potential health risks they bring.

This segment features Dr Cameron Jones and was filmed at the Biological Health Services lab for Weekend Sunrise, Ch 7, 27th October 2024. Thanks to Alice Mitchell, Producer, Ch 7 for developing out this story.
