Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Clinical and Chemical Pathology Summary: Blood culture contamination represents an ongoing source of frustration for clinicians and microbiologists alike. Ambiguous culture results often lead to diagnostic uncertainty in clinical management and are associated with increased health care costs due to unnecessary treatment and testing. A variety of strategies have been investigated and employed to decrease contamination rates. The objective of the study was to investigate the reasons of contaminated blood culture specimens drawn by nursing staff and to identify the best practice for obtaining blood culture specimens. We developed and implemented a step procedure (protocol) through searching best practice guidelines. Then a prospective cohort study was conducted by comparing blood culture contamination in 200 consecutive blood culture results from Abou Elrich Elmonira hospital before applying the protocol with another 200 results after applying the protocol. And also by comparing 100 consecutive blood culture results from Elmanial hospital before applying the protocol with another 100 results after applying the protocol
