Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators want to assess the effectivity of different sample volumes in blood cultures.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators intend to compare yield of 0.5ml sample x2 vs 0.25 ml samples x2 (aerobic and anaerobic media for each volume) taken from the sample taken from the same site and time.

Time to positivity will also be compared, as well as possible contamination rates.
