(FILES)This June 24, 2013 file photo shows seats aboard a plane of an Aeroflot flight from Moscow. Dangerous bacteria -- the kind that cause vomiting and potent infections -- may be able to survive on airplane surfaces for up to a week, researchers said on May 20, 2014. Researchers at Auburn University tested the ability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and E. coli O157:H7 to survive on surfaces commonly found in airplanes. These disease-causing bugs made their homes on armrests, seat back pockets and other common surfaces, said the research presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. For their study, scientists applied the pathogens to an armrest, plastic tray table, metal toilet button, window shade, seat pocket cloth, and leather obtained from a major airline.
