Optimizing endoscope surveillance: how sampling methods and time points affect microbiological surveillance

The drying phase of endoscope reprocessing plays a critical role in reducing residual microbial contamination. Additionally, FBFSM demonstrated superior sensitivity in post-reprocessing surveillance, highlighting its value as a more effective sampling method compared with CFSM.
