Evaluation of microbial contamination rates in umbilical cord blood collection for biobanking in Vinmec tissue bank

This study evaluates the microbial contamination rate to find the frequency and distribution of bacterial organisms among CB samplings in Vietnam. In addition, this study compares the contamination rates between two delivery methods: cesarean section and vaginal delivery. The results help create best practices to avoid a high level of contamination of CB during cord blood banking.
