Abstract
There exist no standardized methods for culturing cardiac rhythm management devices. To identify the most optimal culturing method, we compared various techniques that comprise vortex, sonication, and incubation or combinations thereof. Incubation alone yielded bacterial colony counts similar to those of other culturing combinations and is the least labor-intensive.Mesh:
