Culture results obtained from endoscopic samples using the 100PHYS and 100PHYS+PT sampling methods and the results of negative controls. Culture results were obtained from TSA agars with filter. Note: 100PHYS, flushing with 100 mL sterile physiological saline; 100PHYS+PT, flush-brush-flush using 100 mL sterile physiological saline and a PULL THRU brush; CFU, colony-forming units; ATP, adenosine triphosphate; *Statistically significant differences between mean yield of culture using 100PHYS and 100PHYS+PT sampling methods for different types of endoscopes. P values are shown.
