A protocol to recover Bacillus anthracis spores from a steel surface using macrofoam swabs was evaluated for its accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and limit of detection. Macrofoam swabs recovered 31.7 to 49.1% of spores from 10-cm2 steel surfaces with a < or =32.7% coefficient of variation in sampling precision and reproducibility for inocula of > or =38 spores.
对一种使用大泡沫拭子从钢表面回收炭疽芽孢杆菌孢子的方案进行了准确性、精密度、重现性和检测限评估。对于接种量≥38个孢子的情况,大泡沫拭子从10平方厘米钢表面回收了31.7%至49.1%的孢子,采样精密度和重现性的变异系数≤32.7%。
