The Microbiology department specializes in identifying infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. By performing culture-based and rapid diagnostic tests on blood, urine, sputum, stool and other body fluids, the department helps determine the exact type of infection and the most effective treatment. Microbiology plays a key role in detecting hidden, recurrent and hospital-acquired infections and supports physicians in selecting the right antibiotics and antifungal therapies.
With advanced microbiological techniques and strict aseptic practices, the department ensures highly reliable diagnostic reporting essential for managing infectious diseases, critical care cases and public health safety.
