Schematic representation of the study design. Of the two trains enrolled in the study, the control train (CTR) continued to receive the chemical disinfection for the whole study period (12 weeks), whereas in the PCHS train the chlorine-based disinfection was replaced by PCHS sanitation. Daily and weekly sanitation protocols are indicated by different colors: light blue (ethanol/chlorine products, daily), dark blue (ethanol/chlorine products, 4 times/day), yellow (ammonium salt product, weekly), and green (PCHS introduction: ethanol/PCHS, daily, and PCHS weekly). Sampling campaigns at T0–T5 times are indicated by red arrows
