Our Clinical Microbiology Laboratory offers a wide range of diagnostic services for the detection, identification, and susceptibility testing of pathogenic microorganisms. We support the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, ensuring timely and accurate results for both outpatient and inpatient care.
🔬 Microbiological Testing Services
🧫 Bacteriological Testing
- Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) testing from clinical specimens such as:
- Blood
- Urine

- Tuberculosis screening and AFB microscopy
🔍 Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST)
- Performed using CLSI or EUCAST guidelines
- Disk diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) and automated MIC testing
- Detection of resistance patterns for better antibiotic stewardship
🧪 Parasitological Examination
- Stool microscopy for ova, cysts, and parasites
- Blood parasite detection (e.g., malaria parasites, filaria)
- Wet mount, concentration, and staining techniques
- Urine and vaginal samples for protozoa and helminths
