Flocked swabs (Copan) were compared to rayon swabs (Copan) for the nasal detection of Staphylococcus aureus in 90 healthy volunteers sampled sequentially during a 5-week period. The use of flocked swabs improved the number of nasal carriers (P = 0.026), the number of positive specimens (P = 0.01), and the quantity of bacteria in positive samples (P = 0.004).
在一项为期 5 周的研究中,90 名健康志愿者接受了连续采样,研究者比较了棉拭子(Copan)和藻酸钙纤维拭子(Copan)对金黄色葡萄球菌鼻内检测的效果。使用藻酸钙纤维拭子提高了鼻腔带菌者的数量(P = 0.026)、阳性标本的数量(P = 0.01)和阳性样本中细菌的数量(P = 0.004)。
