Abstract
The current manufacturing disruption of BACTEC blood culture bottles has drawn attention to diagnostic stewardship around blood culture utilization. In this perspective, we offer strategies for implementing blood culture stewardship using a graded approach based on a hospital's blood culture bottle supply. These strategies should inform plans to mitigate the impact of the shortage on patient care and reinforce fundamental principles of blood culture stewardship.
The current blood culture bottle shortage emphasizes the importance of diagnostic stewardship for blood cultures. We offer strategies for implementing blood culture stewardship using a graded approach based on supply to mitigate impact and reinforce fundamental blood culture stewardship principles.
