Microbiology

Our microbiology department offers comprehensive identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing for bacteria, fungi, parasites, and mycobacteria. We utilize automated identification systems, molecular methods, and traditional culture techniques.

Core Services

Bacterial Cultures

Blood, urine, wound, respiratory, and sterile body fluid cultures with full identification and sensitivity testing.

Rapid Diagnostics

Quick identification methods for common pathogens and resistance markers.

Mycobacteriology

TB culture, acid-fast staining, and drug susceptibility testing for tuberculosis and atypical mycobacteria.

Parasitology

Comprehensive ova and parasite examinations, including specialized stains and concentration techniques.

Mycology

Fungal cultures, KOH preparations, and antifungal susceptibility testing.

Anaerobic Cultures

Specialized processing for oxygen-sensitive organisms.

Infection Control

Environmental monitoring and healthcare-associated infection surveillance.

Molecular Microbiology

PCR-based pathogen detection and resistance gene identification.

We maintain strict quality control measures and participate in national proficiency testing programs to ensure reliable results for optimal antimicrobial therapy selection.
