Abstract

The author reflects on the reduction of blood culture contamination. It tackles the methods for the reduction of contamination rates which include cleaning the top of the blood culture bottle, avoiding arterial punctures and using trained phlebotomists and blood culture collection kits. It also discusses a trial that assesses the effectiveness of routine use of sterile gloves during peripheral venipuncture to reduce blood culture contamination.
