In our laboratory, there are 4 microbiology specialists working.

Tests which done in our laboratory:

  • Bacteriology: Culture-anbiogram (throat, stool, urine, mucus, wound, cerebrospinal fluid), manual and automatic bacteria identification and antibiogram tests, Microscopic examinations with Gram color , screening tests, rapid streptococcal A test, helicobacter pylori tests in stool, ARB detection in non-sputum samples
  • Virology; PCR tests (Covid-19)
  • Parasitology: Parasites and parasite eggs are investigated by microscopic examination in Stool, urine and in some other in body fluids. Further amoebic dysentery is diagnosed by the Entamoeba histolytica antigen test.
  • Serological tests: Hepatitis A (Anti HAV Ig G and IgM), Hepatitis B (such as Hbs antigen, anti HBs), Anti HCV), Anti HIV, Toxoplasma, CMV, Rubella antibody tests, Brucella, Syphilis tests, Monotest

Moreover, Influenza test on upper respiratory tract swab, Stool antigen tests (searching for rotavirus, adenovirus, Clostridium toxin), detection of leukocytes and erythrocytes in stool and urine and macroscopic examination of stool (stool shape, consistency, color, blood and mucus) has done. Microscopic examination, identification and antifungal susceptibility tests are performed for yeast fungi and hyphae.
