At the Microbiology Department, we seek to maximize efficiency and sustainability to meet the needs of the public. We have a broad catalog of services with state-of-the-art tools in clinical microbiology in terms of diagnosis and monitoring microorganisms in the population and the study of epidemic outbreaks.
The Microbiology Department works in two sections and across four transversal units: The Bacteriology and Mycology Section, the Virology Section, and the Serology Unit.
We also respond to clinical problems in the field of infectious diseases, as we provide high-quality diagnosis and the necessary resources for research projects, which is one of our Main Objects.
Bacteriology section:
In the bacteriology unit, we perform both culture and sensitive patterns of different clinical samples such as urine, stool, sputum, wound swabs, prostatic smears, and other clinical samples according to the need of the professionals. Moreover, we also perform ELISA tests by our skilled medical technologist to identify antibodies and antigens of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, we also perform the microscopic test for the identification of bacteria in various clinical swabs.

Virology Section
Immunoassays employ antibodies as the primary means to detect viruses within a sample. One of the most widely applied immunoassays is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These formats are useful for measuring an antibody response against a given antigen. For example, regarding virology, direct or indirect ELISA assays help confirm patients who have anti-virus antibodies in their sera, having developed an immune response post-viral infection. We have highly skilled medical technologists performing ELISA tests to detect specific antigens and antibodies against certain microorganisms. Moreover, we are also performing serology tests such as ICT for HbsAg to detect antigens and antibodies rapidly. In addition, we have an automation system such as CLIA with specificity and sensitivity for detecting antibodies and virus antigens in clinical samples.

Parasitology section
Parasitology is a science that studies the external and internal forms of evolution and how parasites are transmitted to humans and animals. A parasite is an organism that lives temporarily or permanently on the outside or inside the body of another living being and benefits from it.
Since parasitic diseases are often chronic and are less associated with clinical signs and symptoms, infected individuals may become carriers of the disease after self-improvement without having any clinical symptoms or carriers of the disease. Children are at greater risk of developing these parasites because of lower immunity levels, greater exposure to contaminated soil and materials, and lack of basic hygiene standards. Therefore, it is essential to know the role of parasitic diseases, the ways of their prevention, and their accurate and accurate diagnosis.
In the parasitology section of the Hormone Lab and Infertility Centre, we receive clinical specimens, especially stools, to investigate and diagnose all types of parasites, including parasitic parasites (worms) and protozoa (protozoa). In a direct manner, identification will be made by direct smear, wet mount, and concentration, as well as the preparation and staining of slides prepared from fresh Permanent stained, Trichrome staining, especially for the detection of histological amoebae. Moreover, we are also performing ELISA tests by our skilled medical technologist to detect antigen and antibody of the parasites which causes infection.

Mycology Section
One of the lab’s parts is collecting, investigating, and detecting suspected specimens of pathogenic fungi. Symptoms of skin fungal infection depend on the type of fungus and the area that it is involved. Fungal rashes are sometimes confused with other skin diseases, such as psoriasis and eczema. Skin fungal diseases can cause a variety of skin rashes. Some cause redness, scaling, and itching, and some only cause dry skin. Fungi can affect only one specific area or several areas of the body.
Some of the actions taken in this field in the laboratory include being active in mycology and active in sampling and diagnosing pathogenic skin and hair fungi, entomology such as Lice and Mite Scabolic mites.
