Environmental sampling in hospitals, when required, needs to be reliable. We evaluated different methods of sampling methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli on 5 materials of the hospital setting. Petrifilms and contact plates were superior to swabs for all of the surfaces studied.
如有需要,医院的环境采样必须可靠。我们评估了在医院环境中的5种材料上采样耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌和产超广谱β-内酰胺酶大肠杆菌的不同方法。对于所有研究的表面,Petrifilms和接触平板比拭子更具优势。
