Rapid Rh-Typing

How do I manage Rh typing in obstetric patients?

A 30-year-old G2P1 female is 12 weeks pregnant and her red blood cells (RBCs) type as A1 with a negative antibody screen. The transfusion medicine service learns that the patient typed as A– during her first pregnancy and she received Rh immune globulin (RhIG). How would you proceed to clarify the patient’s D type and to evaluate the need for prophylaxis to prevent hemolytic disease of the fetu...

Rapid Typing of Coxiella burnetii

Coxiella burnetii has the potential to cause serious disease and is highly prevalent in the environment. Despite this, epidemiological data are sparse and isolate collections are typically small, rare, and difficult to share among laboratories as this pathogen is governed by select agent rules and fastidious to culture. With the advent of whole genome sequencing, some of this knowledge gap has ...

Minim Typing – A Rapid and Low Cost MLST Based Typing Tool for Klebsiella pneumoniae

Here we report a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) based genotyping method for Klebsiella pneumoniae utilising high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis of fragments within the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) loci. The approach is termed mini-MLST or Minim typing and it has previously been applied to Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium. Six SNPs were derived...
