OUR STORY

Know About Us

Why Manipal?

Microbial illnesses continue to be a leading cause of sickness and mortality on a global scale.  Depending on the microorganism and the health of the human, their effects might differ significantly. Antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and vaccinations are examples of microbiological advancements that have lessened the prevalence of several infectious illnesses. Public health initiatives are nevertheless hampered by new illnesses, antibiotic resistance, and the intricacy of host-pathogen interactions. Our team of top microbiologists in Ghaziabad at Manipal Hospital offers the finest care and individualised therapy for infectious illnesses and microbiology.

Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (AST)

Determines which antibiotics will be effective against a particular bacterial infection. Helps prevent misuse of antibiotics and fights antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Infection Control & Hospital Hygiene

Monitors hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Works closely with infection control teams to track outbreaks and prevent cross-contamination.

Culture and Isolation of Pathogens

Grows microbes from patient samples under controlled conditions to study their characteristics and behavior. Uses aerobic and anaerobic cultures, fungal cultures, and viral transport media.

Support for Specialised Units

Assists in infection surveillance in ICUs, surgical wards, NICUs, and transplant units. Guides clinicians in managing infections in immunocompromised patients.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools

Includes use of: Microscopy (Gram stain, acid-fast stain), Culture techniques, Serology (ELISA, Widal, HIV, hepatitis tests), Molecular diagnostics (PCR, RT-PCR for TB, COVID-19, HPV, etc.)
