Donors with blood type AB... can donate to recipients with blood type AB only. Donors with blood type O... can donate to recipients with blood types A, B, AB and O (O is the universal donor: donors with O blood are compatible with any other blood type)
Type O positive blood is critical in trauma care. Those with O positive blood can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.
O negative blood is often called the 'universal blood type' because people of any blood type can receive it. This makes it vitally important in an emergency or when a patient's blood type is unknown.
To donate blood it is necessary to follow the rules of blood typing: Blood O+ can donate to A+, B+, AB+ and O+ Blood O- can donate to A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+ and O-Nov 22, 2016

O positive blood can't be used universally because it has the Rh factor, but it is compatible with all positive blood types including O+, A+, B+, and AB+. Since over 80% of the population has a positive blood type, type O positive blood is in high demand.Jan 8, 2021
Rh null blood groupThe golden blood type or Rh null blood group contains no Rh antigens (proteins) on the red blood cells (RBCs). This is the rarest blood group in the world, with less than 50 individuals having this blood group.

Of the eight main blood types, people with type O have the lowest risk for heart disease. People with types AB and B are at the greatest risk, which could be a result of higher rates of inflammation for these blood types. A heart-healthy lifestyle is particularly important for people with types AB and B blood.
Yes this is definitely possible. In this case, the most likely explanation is that dad is a carrier for being Rh- and mom is a carrier for blood type O. What happened was that dad and mom each passed both an O and an Rh negative to the baby. The end result is an O negative child.Jul 24, 2013
7%Only 7% of the population are O negative. However, the need for O negative blood is the highest because it is used most often during emergencies. The need for O+ is high because it is the most frequently occurring blood type (37% of the population). The universal red cell donor has Type O negative blood.
O+ blood is very important as a (mostly) universal red blood cell type. This blood type can be used in emergency situations such as traumatic bleeding or other types of emergency transfusions. It is also an important blood type as type “O” patients can only receive type “O” red blood cell transfusions.Dec 1, 2021
