Comparison of two swab types for recovery of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida auris from gloves and gowns
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 May 2023
Abstract
Known concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida auris were applied on gloves and gowns then sampled with E-swabs and BBL liquid Amies swabs. The mean numbers of colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) obtained from culture of the 2 swab types were not different, suggesting that either can be used for recovery of these two pathogens from personal protective equipment.
