Overview
Our Medical Microbiology department identifies the bacteria, viruses, and fungi responsible for infections. Using advanced culture techniques and rapid antigen tests, we provide accurate results that guide effective treatment.

Typical Tests

• Blood, urine, sputum, and wound cultures

• Throat swab and nasal swab cultures

• Antibiotic sensitivity testing

Why It Matters
Pinpointing the exact organism helps doctors prescribe the right antibiotic, reducing complications and preventing drug resistance.

Preparation Tips

• Avoid antibiotics for 48–72 hours before the test if possible (follow your doctor’s advice).

• Collect samples in sterile containers provided by the lab.
