Abstract: The CDC is funding three 5-yr cooperative agreement projects designed to encourage partners to increase the effectiveness of laboratory practice guidelines (LPGs) to address important diseases and/or public health threats by defining and using metrics to inform better LPG creation, revision, dissemination, promotion, uptake, and impact. The project will explore how these processes and their impediments and facilitators differ among various intended users of LPGs. Through this demonstration project, CDC seeks to understand how to customize LPG creation and promotion to better serve these intended users. This information collection request only concerns the American Society for Microbiology arm of the project, and will address issues concerning reducing blood culture contamination (BCC), rapid diagnosis of blood stream infections (BSI), proper collection and transport of urine (UT), and microbiological practices to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI). Non-substantive changes are being requested for the C. difficile lab practice survey.
