The genera Acinetobacter and Mycobacterium were particularly abundant in some samples, raising concerns about their potential role in nosocomial infections. Other identified bacteria included Pseudomonas, Escherichia, and Shigella, albeit at lower frequencies. The persistence of these bacteria in hospital environments suggests that insects may contribute to their dissemination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2732494X25102027_as5\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings highlight the need for enhanced arthropod control measures in healthcare facilities as part of routine biosecurity protocols.
