Subject: 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. This baseline survey will take
approximately 35 minutes to complete; participation is voluntary. Approximately six months from now,
we will send you another email inviting you to take a Blood Culture Contamination Laboratory Practice
post-survey. The results of this baseline survey will be compared with those from the upcoming postsurvey.
The results from the survey will be compiled and shared in aggregate as a learning tool, presented at
professional conferences, and potentially published in a professional journal in the field of laboratory
science. All information collected in this survey will be kept in a secure manner; your IP address will NOT
be retained.
Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3Y9Z38P to complete the survey. Thank you for taking the time
to complete this baseline survey by (date to be determined upon OMB approval). Your feedback is
important for guiding ASM and CDC’s efforts to improve laboratory practice and patient care. Contact
[email protected] with questions or concerns.
Thank you, Alice

For our members from commercial vendors, Federal or regulatory sites, there are some
very important issues that arise where we get very candid and often frustrated or angry,
but not toward any one individual. This may be sensitive to you, your agency or
company but we work and debate in the real world and you are welcome to listen in and
respond, but not as a means to justify a punitive position against any of our members or
their institutions.
