Treating an infection effectively means knowing exactly which organism is causing it and which antibiotics it responds to. Our microbiology department provides culture and sensitivity testing that gives your doctor the precise information they need — and helps combat antibiotic resistance.
Definitive infection identification with antibiotic sensitivity guidance.
The definitive test for urinary tract infections. Identifies the specific bacteria causing the UTI and determines which antibiotics will eliminate it. Critical for recurrent UTIs or infections not responding to initial treatment.
For suspected septicaemia (blood poisoning). Detects bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream — a potentially life-threatening condition requiring prompt, targeted treatment.
Identifies bacteria causing throat (tonsillitis), sinus, and ear infections. Particularly useful for infections that are recurring or not responding to initial antibiotic treatment.
For infected wounds, post-surgical infections, diabetic foot infections, and abscesses. Guides antibiotic choice and identifies resistant organisms.
For respiratory infections including pneumonia and tuberculosis. Identifies causative organism and sensitivity for targeted treatment.
For infectious diarrhoea — Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli. Also includes microscopy for parasites and OVA.
For suspected fungal infections — oral candidiasis, skin, nail, vaginal, and systemic fungal infections.
Acid-fast bacillus testing for tuberculosis investigation. Sputum, urine, or other fluid. Essential for TB diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.
Giving the wrong antibiotic does not just fail to treat the infection — it contributes to resistance, making future infections harder to treat for everyone
A culture result tells your doctor exactly which antibiotics the organism responds to — eliminating guesswork and failed treatment courses
If a UTI or chest infection keeps coming back, a culture and sensitivity is essential to find out why — and whether a resistant organism is involved
One correctly targeted antibiotic course is more effective than multiple empirical treatments
For UTI patients: If you have had more than 2 UTIs in the past year, or a UTI that did not clear with initial treatment, a urine culture is essential before starting antibiotics. Call 98176-33316 and we will advise on collection instructions.
