An anonymous user from the 129.31 range insists on leaving an external link to http://www.biomerieux-usa.com - the site of a manufacturer. I really don't see the point in adding a link to one manufacturer. If we are to learn details about the composition of the medium or the material of the bottles, why can't we provide this content in more general terms (generalisable to all other manufacturers) and integrate this with the article's content?
I'm also getting annoyed with the provocative edit summaries by this user ("who do you think you are"). I have now semiprotected the page, and hope that we can have a somewhat more reasonable discussion. JFW | T@lk 08:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
How many sets of blood cultures? This page is not complete or well-referenced yet. Perhaps one standard is 2 sets of blood cultures, aerobic and anaerobic, for a total of 4 culture bottles, before antibiotic therapy in a typical suspected pneumonia or case of sepsis. There are over 50,000 citations in MEDLINE on blood cultures. Using different search techniques, terms, searching reviews, and so on I have still not found the papers that are exactly on the number of blood cultures recommended in different clinical settings. Anyone happen to know the right citations? ReasonableLogicalMan( Talk 19:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
To everyone,
Please help to improve this article. I really do not have the time, and it looks really awful.
Suggestions for improvement:
Sorry I couldn't do it, but I hope my suggestions are helpful!

I replaced the current procedure section ( [1]) with an older version ( [2]) that seemed much better-written. As the comment above points out, the version that I replaced was focused on venipuncture at the expense of the overall blood culture procedure. Hanacy ( talk) 22:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

This article easily meets the Good Article criteria. It describes a technique used in hospital laboratories that I have used for many years. No major facts have been omitted and the citations are
WP:MEDRS compliant.
