Key Features

1. Comprehensive Microbial Analysis:

Our Microbiology division specialises in the identification of a wide range of microbial pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
From culture-based techniques to molecular diagnostics, we employ a multi-faceted approach for a thorough microbial assessment.

2. Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing:

Leveraging the advanced testing methodologies, we determine the susceptibility of microbial isolates to various antimicrobial agents.
This information guides clinicians in choosing the most effective and targeted antibiotic therapies.

3. Blood Culture:

Utilising both conventional and automated methods, our blood culture techniques ensure a comprehensive assessment for the presence of microbial pathogens.
This precision aids in early detection, allowing for timely interventions.

4. Water culture:

Our expertise extends to water culture, ensuring a thorough examination for potential microbial contaminants, crucial for maintaining environmental safety standards.

5. Hospital Infection Control:

We play a pivotal role in hospital infection control, providing rigorous assessments and recommendations to mitigate the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI).

6. Culture and Sensitivity:

Our commitment to precision is reflected in our culture and sensitivity analyses, contributing to targeted interventions by identifying the most effective treatment options.

Specialised Microbiological Services:

Infectious Disease Diagnostics:

Our microbiologists excel in diagnosing a spectrum of infectious diseases, including respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and more.
Comprehensive panels allow for the identification of multiple pathogens in a single sample, optimising diagnostic efficiency.

MIC and MBC:

Employing MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) and MBC (Minimum Bactericidal Concentration) assessments, we provide nuanced insights into the efficacy of antimicrobial agents, aiding in treatment decisions.

Mycology:

Our proficiency in mycology includes thorough culture and identification techniques, coupled with anti-fungal susceptibility testing for targeted management.

Mycobacteriology:

Utilising advanced technologies such as GeneXpert and MolBio micro PCR, we ensure accurate detection and characterisation of mycobacterial infections.
Sputum routine microscopy further contributes to our comprehensive mycobacteriology services.

Cutting-Edge Technologies:

Automated Microbial Identification Systems:

Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art automated microbial identification systems, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in identifying pathogens.
These technologies enable rapid reporting, facilitating prompt clinical interventions.

Next-Generation Genome Sequencing (NGS) for Microbiology:

Leveraging NGS, we can perform in-depth genomic analyses of microbial isolates, aiding in epidemiological investigations and understanding genetic variations among pathogens.
This technology contributes to the advancement of microbial genomics for improved diagnostics and outbreak management.

Patient-Centric Approach:

Rapid Identification for Timely Interventions:

Recognising the urgency in infectious disease cases, our Microbiology department prioritises rapid identification, delivering results within 24 hours.
Timely reporting ensures swift initiation of targeted antimicrobial therapies.

Tailored Antimicrobial Therapy:

Our expert microbiologists collaborate closely with infectious disease specialists to provide recommendations for tailored antimicrobial therapy based on microbial susceptibility testing.
This collaborative approach optimises patient outcomes by ensuring the use of the most effective antibiotics.
