What is Microbiology?
Microbiology is the branch of laboratory medicine that helps detect and identify microorganisms responsible for infections, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and certain viruses. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing infections, guiding antibiotic therapy, monitoring treatment response, and supporting infection control.
At Bhide Lab, our Microbiology Department is designed to support clinicians with reliable, timely, and clinically meaningful reports for routine and specialized infection-related investigations.
Often Heard of the Terms Culture & Sensitivity Report?
Let’s decode what they really are—and see why they form the baseline of custom infection therapeutics.
Culture Testing
ORGANISM CULTIVATIONCulture Testing is a laboratory method used to detect and grow microorganisms from patient samples such as urine, blood, pus, sputum, stool, body fluids, swabs, and other clinical specimens.
The sample is placed on special culture media and incubated under controlled conditions. If microorganisms are present, they grow into visible colonies, which are then identified using standard microbiological methods.
WHAT MAKES CULTURE SO IMPORTANT:
It helps confirm whether microorganisms are growing in the sample.
The test identifies the bacteria or fungus responsible.
This is determined through Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (AST).
Antibiotic Sensitivity
SUSCEPTIBILITY ASSAY (AST)Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing, also known as Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, helps determine which antibiotics are likely to be effective against the microorganism causing the infection.
This test supports doctors in choosing the most appropriate antibiotic and helps reduce unnecessary or ineffective antibiotic use.
