Microbiology

Our laboratory is dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases. We play a crucial role in helping physicians identify and manage infections in patients.  In this laboratory, we perform a wide range of tests to detect, identify, and characterize microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) that may be causing infections. Some of the common tests we conduct include culturing samples to isolate and identify specific organisms, performing antibiotic susceptibility testing to determine the most effective treatment, Serological tests to determine the presence of antibody/antigen which helps to to determine the stage of disease, conducting molecular testing to detect and characterize pathogens at the genetic level.  Our highly skilled team of microbiologists, medical laboratory technologists, and infectious disease specialists work together to provide accurate and timely results.  The information we generate from our laboratory tests is vital for guiding physicians in making evidence-based treatment decisions. It helps them select the appropriate antimicrobial therapy, determine the duration of treatment, and monitor patient recovery.  Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows strict protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results. We also play a significant role in surveillance and monitoring of infectious diseases, contributing to public health efforts. By maintaining high standards of quality control and participating in proficiency testing programs, we ensure the accuracy and reliability of our test results
