Microbiology is the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that cause infections in the human body. At Samaira Diagnostic Centre, our microbiology services are designed to detect and identify these disease-causing organisms with precision, helping doctors prescribe the right treatment at the right time.
One of the key procedures in microbiology is culture and sensitivity testing. In this process, a sample (such as blood, urine, sputum, or tissue) is cultured to identify the microorganism responsible for an infection. Once identified, further testing determines which antibiotics or medications are most effective in treating it. This ensures patients receive targeted therapy, preventing unnecessary use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and reducing the risk of drug resistance.
Our microbiology department plays a crucial role in diagnosing urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal diseases, wound infections, and hospital-acquired infections. We also offer rapid diagnostic tests for detecting common infections quickly, which is especially important in urgent care.
The lab is equipped with modern diagnostic tools and automated systems, ensuring both accuracy and speed. Every sample is handled by trained microbiologists and technicians under strict safety protocols, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring reliable reports.
At Samaira Diagnostic Centre, we also provide home collection services for microbiology samples wherever possible, maintaining patient comfort and safety. Reports are shared promptly, allowing doctors to initiate treatment without delay.
By combining advanced technology, expert staff, and a strong commitment to patient care, our microbiology services provide a crucial foundation for effective infection diagnosis and treatment.
