Abstract Background: Reducing skin contamination rate and improving the positive rate in blood culture is essential for the correct diagnosis and management of sepsis. Chlorhexidine-alcohol was compared with povidone-iodine for the efficiency of disinfection. Positive rates were compared between the collection of 10 mL and 20 mL of blood per sample. Methods: The study population included adult patients ≥ 18 years old requested for blood culture in the Emergency Department. Povidone-iodine (10%) was used for antiseptic skin preparation from March to June 2011, and 0.5% chlorhexidine-alcohol from July to October 2011. The standard for blood collection was

Abstract Background: Blood culture is essential for the diagnosis and management of bloodstream infections. Blood volume is a key parameter determining the success of blood cultures. Studies comparing compliance between physicians and phlebotomists regarding optimal blood culture procedure are very rare in Korea. Methods: After educating physicians (interns) and phlebotomists about the correct procedure for blood culturing, the blood volumes of forty-three percent of randomly selected aerobic and anaerobic culture sets for adult patients (≥18 years old) were compared between these two groups over a period of three months. Physicians obtained blood from all admitted patients except those in the

Abstract Background: Blood volume is the most important parameter for an optimal blood culture; however, the effect of blood volume on blood culture is not clearly understood from patients with sepsis. Methods: Blood cultures were obtained from 1,049 patients (≥ 15 years old) who visited the emergency department (ED). Two sets of 20 mL each was collected from each patient, 12 mL of which was transferred to 2 and 10 mL FA Plus (aerobic) bottles (bioMérieux, USA) and the remaining into an FN Plus (anaerobic) bottle.

Original article Seungjun Lee1, Seong Chun Kim2, Sunjoo Kim1,3 1Department of Laboratory Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital, 2Departments of Emergency Medicine and 3Laboratory Medicine, Institute of Health Sciences, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Jinju, Korea Corresponding to Sunjoo Kim, E-mail: sjkim8239@hanmail.net Ann Clin Microbiol 2021;24(1):1-9. https://doi.org/10.5145/ACM.2021.24.1.1Received on 23 March 2020, Revised on 27 April 2020, Accepted on 28 April 2020, Published on 20 March 2021.Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: Blood culture is essential for diagnosis of sepsis. However, usually the available blood volume is not sufficient to meet the guidelines. Thus, periodic monitoring and feedback are essential to improve the quality of blood cultures. Methods: We analyzed blood cultures requested between November 2018 and June 2019, and provided educational intervention and coaching for phlebotomists at the end of February 2019. Then, we evaluated the impact of education on blood cultures in a secondary‑care hospital.

Abstract Background: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a major cause of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease; however, treatment outcomes remain suboptimal. Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) is conditionally recommended; however, conventional broth microdilution is labor-intensive. The Sensititre SLOMYCO® panel offers a standardized platform for DST
