Description:Blood culture contamination can compromise quality of care and lead to unnecessary antibiotic exposure and prolonged length of hospitalization. Microbiology laboratories typically track blood culture contamination rates and can provide data to assist in reducing contamination rates. Infection control programs and microbiology laboratories might participate in designing and implementing interventions to decrease contamination rates, and antibiotic stewardship programs could also be engaged to optimize multidisciplinary quality improvement efforts to decrease blood culture contamination and improve the collection of blood culture specimens.
