Abstract

Blood culture contamination (BCC) is a major healthcare challenge with no standardized process to monitor and report rates by individual healthcare facilities in the United States. A new study by V. Fabre, Y.- J. Hsu, K. C. Caroll, A. M. Milstone, et al. (J Clin Microbiol 63:e0053025, 2025, https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.00530-25) characterizes blood culture contamination rates, surveillance methods, reporting practices, and preventative strategies across 52 centers in the United States. The study highlights a need for standardized surveillance metrics and target thresholds within and across hospitals to help facilitate accurate benchmarking, provide feedback on existing processes, support antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship efforts, and allocate resources to reduce BCC events.

血培养污染率的标准化监测:迈向通用标准。
在美国,血液培养物污染(BCC)是一个主要的医疗保健挑战,没有标准化的流程来监测和报告各个医疗保健机构的比率。V. Fabre, Y.- J. Hsu, K. C. Caroll, A. M. Milstone等人的一项新研究(临床微生物杂志63:e0053025,2025, https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.00530-25)描述了美国52个中心的血液培养污染率,监测方法,报告实践和预防策略。该研究强调需要在医院内部和医院之间制定标准化的监测指标和目标阈值,以帮助促进准确的基准设定,对现有流程提供反馈,支持抗菌剂和诊断管理工作,并分配资源以减少BCC事件。
