Appointment Helpline
The Department of Microbiology at Manipal Hospitals, Vijayawada, plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases. Our highly skilled team of microbiologists and technicians utilises advanced technologies to provide accurate and timely diagnostic testing. Our microbiology department offers a range of services, including 1. Microbial Culture and Identification, where we perform a wide range of cultures to identify bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites that may be causing infections. 2. Molecular Diagnostics, where we utilise advanced techniques like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for rapid and specific detection of pathogens. 3. Biofire is Exclusive to Manipal Hospitals, Biofire is a molecular diagnostic system and its syndromic panels can detect several of these possible pathogens by a unique technology called Film Array. 4. Automated Mycobacterium cultures Our laboratory is equipped with the latest automated Mycobacterium cultures system, providing the most reliable and accurate TB cultures and diagnoses. It helps reduce TAT, minimise contamination, and increase sensitivity. 5. Serological Testing where we offer tests to detect antibodies produced by the body in response to various infections, aiding in diagnosis, and Infection Control Support where our team collaborates closely with the infection control department to prevent and manage hospital-acquired infections, ensuring patient safety.
At Manipal Hospitals, we recognise the need for accurate and timely diagnosis in treating infectious diseases. Our comprehensive and patient-centred microbiology service leverages advanced technology for precise diagnoses. We follow a multidisciplinary approach where specialists from various departments collaborate to devise the best possible Microbiology Test in Vijayawada. Our highly trained and experienced microbiologists ensure thorough care, covering all aspects of microbiology. We focus on creating personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. Patients have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and treatments, helping them recover from a wide range of infectious diseases.
Our expertise extends beyond the body's natural defences. While the immune system tackles many infections, for more severe illnesses, a targeted approach is necessary. This is where antimicrobial medications come in - antibiotics for bacteria, antifungals for fungi, antivirals for viruses, and antiparasitics for parasitic diseases.
Our Department of Microbiology stands out as one of India's most well-equipped facilities for preventing and treating infectious diseases caused by various microbes. Our team of highly skilled microbiologists develops personalised treatment plans, meticulously considering:
Our Special Diagnostic Tests:
Biofire
Biofire is a molecular diagnostic system and its syndromic panels can detect several of these pathogens (infectious agents) such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. The Biofire system uses a unique technology called Film Array that can detect multiple pathogens in a single test. Time is of the essence in patient care, our lab is equipped to deliver results with remarkable speed. Our Biofire lab offers an extensive menu of validated assays for a wide range of infectious diseases, including respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, bloodstream infections, meningitis and more.
Automated Mycobacterium cultures (TB)
Our Microbiology laboratory is equipped with the latest Automated Mycobacterium cultures system, which provides you with the most reliable and accurate TB cultures and diagnoses. Because of the low sensitivity of conventional techniques for the recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, isolation from body fluids remains a challenge owing to the low bacterial charge characterising such samples. Automated TB culturing systems help reduce TAT, reduce contamination and increase sensitivity.
At the microbiology laboratory, Manipal Hospitals, Vijayawada, we leverage cutting-edge technology to deliver a comprehensive range of diagnostic and research capabilities. Our facilities are designed to provide:
Rapid and Accurate Testing: We utilise advanced equipment and methodologies to ensure timely and reliable results for various infectious diseases. This includes rapid tests like QBC and antigen detection for malaria.
Advanced Diagnostic Techniques: Our lab is equipped to perform a wide range of sophisticated tests, enabling the identification of even complex pathogens during microbiology tests.
Growth Control: Our facilities support the controlled growth and analysis of various microbes, essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment selection.
Environmental Monitoring: Our equipment helps monitor and control potential sources of infection within the hospital environment, promoting patient well-being.
This state-of-the-art infrastructure allows our team of expert microbiologists to conduct in-depth research and implement the latest advancements in infectious disease management.
