“…Our find was in agreement with different studies which claimed that Gram-positive commensals are isolated soon after donation, whereas Gram negative organisms not usually detectable until after a period of proliferation during storage [30][31][32].…”

Background: After the discovery of Human Immuno -deficiency virus, screening of blood donors practically reduced viral pathogens. However, transfusion associated bacterial sepsis, which causes high mortality and morbidity remain an important public health concern, has been received very little attention in the African set up including Ethiopia.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of bacterial contamination of blood and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern at Debre Markos referal hospital, North West Ethiopia. Methods:A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted using randomly sampled 120 whole blood units. The blood samples were obtained from screened, stored whole blood. All laboratory activities were carried out as Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) protocol. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 16 software. P<0.005 is statistically significant.

“…Being skin commensals, contamination is thought to occur primarily during phlebotomy, as a result of incomplete disinfection and/or skin core removal by the collection needle. 21 Isolation of Listeria in blood products is unusual. Although widely distributed, it is rarely a commensal in humans.…”

“…Such contamination is thought to occur principally during phlebotomy, as a result of incomplete disinfection and/or skin core removal (including skin appendages where the skin disinfectants may not penetrate) by the collection needle (25). These organisms typically do not grow at 1 to 6°C but survive and multiply readily at the platelet storage temperature of 20 to 24°C.…”

Blood for transfusion is a potential source of infection by a variety of known and unknown transmissible agents. Over the last 20 years, astounding reductions in the risk of viral infection via allogeneic blood have been achieved. As a result of this success, bacterial contamination of blood products has emerged as the greatest residual source of transfusion-transmitted disease. This paper summarizes the current status of detection, prevention, and elimination of bacteria in blood products for transfusion
