Blood Culture Contamination Laboratory Practice
Survey
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are conducting a
survey to learn about laboratories’ practices and policies for
reducing blood culture contamination with the goal of improving practice and patient care. The baseline and post- surveys will
take approximately 35 minutes to complete; participation is
voluntary.
The results from the surveys will be compiled and shared in
aggregate as a learning tool, presented at professional conferences, and potentially published in a professional journal in the
fıeld of laboratory science. All information collected in these
surveys will be kept in a secure manner; your IP address will
NOT be retained.
