      If someone is conducting a sampling confirmation of an apartment that has been cleaned after a MRSA case, how many swab samples should you collect?

      There is nothing written to specify how many samples to take, they just need to be prudent given the size of the cleaned apartment. I have seen typically 8-10 samples in homes settings from other clients.
