If forensics gets permission from a suspect to test blood for a bacterial infection or something similar, can that blood legally be tested against DNA that was found at a crime scene and hold up in a court of law?

Thank you everyone for your answers. I am currently working on my suspense thriller, Anonymous, inspired by a true story. The interviews and interrogations have taken months of research and I am very close to being politically correct.
I studied creative writing at Baldwin Wallace College and Cleveland State University. I am a freelance writer and have published in The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
If anyone would like to critique this short section, I would be more than happy to provide it.

Yes they can. Your D.N.A. is put in the computer just like your finger prints.

I GUESS IT'S POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SOUND ETHICAL. IT MAY OR MAY NOT HOLD UP IN COURT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY GOT IT. BUT ONCE THE THOUGHT HAS BEEN PUT THERE IN THE MINDS OF OTHERS IT'S A BIT LATE. PRAY IT'S NOT THE SAME BLOOD TYPE!

Yep. Once they have it, they can pretty much do what they want with it.
