Short summary
The goal of this study was to compare the performance of two aerosol generators in terms of nebulization efficiency, size distribution, bacterial fragmentation, and the stresses produced on bacteria during nebulization, including loss of viability and culturability. Our findings indicated that bacterial viability is significantly influenced by nebulization procedures, and nebulization efficiency varies among different nebulizers.
