Microbiology deals with microbes, their characters, applications, and other related concepts. It also extends to know how the body deals with microbes and controls them for health and other benefits.
The Microbiology Laboratory of UMED Diagnostics provides complete clinical services for diagnosing, preventing, and treating infectious diseases. Several techniques like microscopy, isolation on culture media, detection of antibodies, etc., are employed to identify the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
The laboratory is equipped with automated systems to address blood culture and mycobacterium culture, bacterial determination, and antimicrobial susceptibility, thus shortening the turnaround time for reporting.
