摘要：

A protocol consisting of cleaning with a detergent and an enzyme cleaner followed by exposure to ethylene oxide applied to diagnostic and radiofrequency ablation cardiac electrophysiology catheters provided effective sterilization of large nonclinical inocula of Bacillus subtilis and the potentially pathogenic bacteria, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis.
