We compared the recovery of Clostridium difficile from hospitalized patients by two collection methods: rectal swabs and stool cultures. Rectal swab cultures were as sensitive as stool cultures and were more easily obtained. Transport of swabs in an anaerobic VACUTAINER system resulted in longer survival times compared with transport in Amies medium.
直肠拭子和粪便培养。直肠拭子培养与粪便培养的敏感性相同,且更容易获取。与在阿氏培养基中转运相比,在厌氧真空采血管系统中转运拭子可使艰难梭菌存活更长时间。
