Presence of bacteria in quantity higher than 1×103 CFU of bacteria per ml of sample indicates unsuitability of donor blood, blood product or tissue for transfer to patient, with absence of said quantity of bacterial indicating suitability of donor blood, product or donor tissue for transfer to patient. Group of inventions also relates to version of said method.
