    Explanation
    When using a winged infusion set (butterfly needles) to draw blood culture bottle set, the aerobic tube is drawn first. This is because aerobic bacteria require oxygen to grow, and by drawing blood into the aerobic tube first, it ensures that any aerobic bacteria present in the blood sample have access to oxygen. This helps to promote the growth of aerobic bacteria in the culture, making it easier to identify and diagnose any potential infections caused by aerobic bacteria.
