Evaluation of swabbing methods for culture and non-culture-based recovery of multidrug-resistant organisms from environmental surfaces
Our findings support the use of SS for the recovery of MDROs. Pitfalls of each method should be noted. Method selection should be driven by MDRO target and desired endpoint.
