Microbiology

Microbiology deals with the detection of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites responsible for infections. Tests include culture and sensitivity, TB tests, malaria, dengue, Widal, stool examination, throat swabs, urine culture, and PCR-based diagnostics. Microbiology helps identify the exact organism causing illness and determines the most effective treatment or antibiotic. This prevents misuse of medicines and supports faster recovery. It is essential for diagnosing fever, respiratory infections, urinary infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and contagious illnesses. Accurate microbiology testing protects community health, reduces infection spread, and ensures proper medical care. It plays a vital role in modern diagnostic medicine.
