Microbiology

The Microbiology department at Prime Path Lab specializes in the detection and identification of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential for selecting the right treatment, preventing complications, and controlling the spread of disease.

Our laboratory follows strict quality and safety protocols and uses modern techniques to ensure dependable and clinically meaningful results.

Bacterial Infections

We perform cultures and sensitivity testing to identify disease-causing bacteria and determine which antibiotics will be most effective.

Common samples include:

• Blood

• Urine

• Sputum

• Pus

• Throat swabs

• Body fluids

Viral Infections

Advanced diagnostic methods help detect viral illnesses and support early medical intervention.

Testing may include screening for:

• Dengue

• Hepatitis

• HIV

• Influenza

• Other viral markers as advised

Fungal Infections

We identify fungal pathogens affecting the skin, nails, respiratory system, and internal organs, enabling targeted antifungal treatment.

Parasitic Infections

Microscopic and antigen-based examinations are used to detect parasites responsible for intestinal and blood-borne diseases.

Culture & Sensitivity (C&S)

This critical test not only identifies the organism causing infection but also guides doctors toward the most effective medication, reducing antibiotic resistance.
