Abstract
Objective: To compare the recovery of yeast from hospital surfaces from two different collection methods: Eswab moistened with molecular water, and premoistened stick-mounted sponge.
Design: Comparison of collection methods for the recovery of yeast in the hospital environment.
Setting: This study took place at intensive care units of a large academic medical center.
