Summary of the Dutch neonatal CLABSI surveillance criteria. *Blood specimens for blood culture can be collected through peripheral venepuncture or can be sampled through central lines and should be obtained in compliance with existing guidelines before the start of antibiotic treatment following hygienic precautions. ¥Common commensals according to NHSN Master Organism List include, but are not limited to, Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS). §Confirmation by a second blood specimen means two or more blood specimens are sampled on separate occasions. These separate occasions are defined as at least two separate blood samples collected on the same or consecutive calendar days
