Microbiology is a branch of medical science that involves preventing, diagnosing and treating infectious diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.
The department helps in early and accurate detection of various bacterial and fungal infections in case of neonates, high risk hospitalized patients and chronic immunocompromised patients to help Physicians in early and correct treatment of neonates and patients.
The department also excels in diagnosis and providing unmatched fungal and bacterial sensitivity to chronic and recurrent pulmonary, genital and skin patients which has been especially modified to cater the Physicians need. A sensitivity analysis is a test that determines the sensitivity of bacteria and fungus to various antimicrobial agents and help Physicians to determine the most effective medicines to treat the patients. The well equipped microbiology department is developed in order to grow the wide variety of various fungal infections like Dermatophytes, Mucormycosis and Aspergillosis and correct diagnosis.
Department of Microbiology uses advanced equipments like VITEK-2 compact and Bactec Fx- 40 machines for the identification and sensitivity of microorganisms which helps in combating the prevailing problem of Multi-Drug Resistant/Pan Drug-Resistant Strains. The weekly usage of various ATCC microbiological strain controls and International Standards are followed in order to provide the best results.
In-house highly sensitive PCR facility helps detect pulmonary tuberculosis, dengue, and chikungunya at an early stage. The early detection of Dengue RNA combined with the reporting of viral load circulating in the blood helps Physicians in better management and intervention of the patients before the platelet count actually start decreasing and cause fatal consequences like Internal bleeding, Shock and even death in some cases.
At Nanda Diagnostics, our team gives special attention to offer given to extensive and prompt reporting of Neonatal, Antenatal, and High-Risk Cases. The TORCH panel test is used to help diagnose infections that could harm the unborn baby during pregnancy. TORCH infections may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or intrauterine growth restriction. In addition, they can cause non-specific signs and symptoms in the fetus or infant, such as microcephaly, lethargy, cataracts, hearing loss, and congenital heart diseases. The correct diagnosis of repeated miscarriages and the risk of fetal growth restriction can be prevented by various ELISA tests. ELISA technique helps detect various pathogenic, immunological, and serological testings with higher sensitivity. Anti-cardiolipin and Anti-phospholipid Ab detection by ELISA helps in correct diagnosis of Anti-phospholipid Syndrome and its treatment increases the chance of a subsequent successful pregnancy.
We manage to examine a large number of samples, maintain a low turnaround time (TAT) and give accurate diagnostic results on an everyday basis with the help of skilled in-house microbiologist.
