We assessed determinants associated with the persistence of bacteria on the arms of blood donors prepared for phlebotomy. Bacterial persistence occurred in 42 (35%) cases. Significant determinants were a high number of previous donations (p=0.045), male sex (p=0.037), outdoor work (p=0.008) and collection during the summer (p=0.035).
