Pathogenic microorganisms can spread in the air as bioaerosols. When the human body is exposed to different bioaerosols, various infectious diseases may occur. As indoor diagnosis and treatment environments, hospitals are relatively closed and have a large flow rate of people. This indoor environment contains complex aerosol components; therefore, effective sampling and detection of microbial elements are essential in airborne pathogen monitoring. This article reviews the sampling and detection of different kinds of microorganisms in bioaerosols from indoor diagnostic and therapeutic settings, with a particular focus on microbial activity. This provides deeper insights into bioaerosols in diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
