The ideal sampling method and benefit of qualitative versus quantitative culture for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) recovery in hospitalized patient rooms and bathrooms is unknown. Although the use of nylon-flocked swabs improved overall gram-negative organism recovery compared with cellulose sponges, they were similar for CRE recovery. Quantitative culture was inferior and unrevealing beyond the qualitative results.
在住院患者病房和浴室中,针对耐碳青霉烯肠杆菌科(CRE)回收,理想的采样方法和定性与定量培养的优势尚不清楚。虽然与纤维素海绵相比,使用尼龙植绒拭子可提高革兰氏阴性菌的总体回收率,但对于 CRE 的回收,两者相似。定量培养的效果不如定性培养,且无法提供比定性培养更深入的结果。
