This field of medical science is concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. In addition, microbiology studies various clinical applications of microbes for the improvement of health. Microbiological culture is the primary method used for isolating infectious disease for study in the laboratory. Tissue or fluid samples are tested for the presence of a specific pathogen, which is determined by growth in a selective or differential medium.

Microbiology department is equipped with BacTalert 3D (240) and Vitek Compact 2

BacTalert 3D (240)

Mainly used to analyse the cause of systemic infections in one’s body through blood cultures, this machine provides the benefit of flexibility to different sized labs for such tests through the option of scalable instruments. The machine provides an ideal environment to cultivate a wide range of micro-organisms that include bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria etc.

Vitek Compact 2

A comprehensive treatment plan for patients suffering from systemic infections is crucial. Vitek Compavt 2 aids the doctors in designing a patient specific treatment plan through accurate microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Prioritizing optimization and reducing the turn around time are the key benefits of this machine that help our lab provide reliable results to the patients.

Apoorva’s focus on an automated approach is integrated with these machines which puts us in a unique position to aid a wide range of patients including direct patients as well as client patients who face health issues pertaining to various infectious diseases through various bacteria, fungi etc.
