Test Detects Bacteria in Red Blood Cells
 
A highly sensitive culture-based test routinely used by blood centers to detect bacterial contamination of platelets is being used to detect bacteria that are commonly found as contaminants of red blood cells.

Pall Corporation (East Hills, NY, USA) has announced the CE marking of its enhanced bacteria detection system (eBDS) to detect bacterial contamination of red blood cells, the most widely transfused blood component. Since the availability of the Pall eBDS for detection of bacteria in platelets, there has been interest in applying the same technology to improve the safety of red blood cells. Recent studies have documented sepsis and death caused by transfusion of contaminated red cells, with the bacteria Yersinia enterocolitica most often implicated.
