Our Microbiology Section provides comprehensive services in aerobic and anaerobic bacterial identification, aerobic susceptibility testing, yeast identification, parasite identification, mycobacterial smears, Herpes group virus cultures (HSV & VZV), rapid testing, and a variety of molecular diagnostics.
Special microbiology services are provided to our customers through UPHSM's affiliation with several national reference laboratories.
