Viable MS2 reaerosolized from FFRs during a simulated cough when contaminated with droplets or droplet nuclei. [The load and reaerosolized values represent the average MS2 (p.f.u. cm−2) and MS2 (p.f.u.), respectively recovered from 3–5 replicate experiments. The percentage of MS2 reaerosolized was calculated for each of the 3–5 replicate experiments and then reported here as the average.]
| Particle type | Load (p.f.u. cm−2) | Reaerosolized (p.f.u.) | Reaerosolized (%) |
| Droplet nuclei | 1.3E + 04 | 2.4E + 03 | 0.21 ± 0.22 |
| Droplet nuclei | 1.3E + 05 | 1.7E + 04 | 0.08 ± 0.08 |
| Droplet | 3.6E + 05 | <1.0E + 02 | <0.0001 |
