Department of
Microbiology Services

Microbiology is a vital diagnostic service that identifies disease-causing microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Through advanced laboratory testing and analysis, microbiology departments help healthcare providers diagnose infections accurately and determine the most effective treatment strategies. These specialized tests examine samples from blood, urine, tissue, and other bodily fluids to detect harmful pathogens and guide targeted antimicrobial therapy.
