Detecting Clostridium difficile spores from inanimate surfaces of the hospital environment: which method is best?

Tânia Claro1, Stephen Daniels2, Hilary Humphreys3.   

Abstract

The recovery of Clostridium difficile spores from hospital surfaces was assessed using rayon swabs, flocked swabs, and contact plates. The contact plate method was less laborious, achieved higher recovery percentages, and detected spores at lower inocula than swabs. Rayon swabs were the least efficient method. However, further studies are required in health care settings.
