Microbiology
In the case of microbiological pathologies, it is essential to isolate and identify microorganisms, as it is the only way to establish an efficient therapy. Once this is done, our specialists carry out antimicrobial sensitivity tests to make sure the therapeutic agent used is truly effective.
Likewise, microbiology is a science that also uses other methods not requiring cultures and that are based on the visualisation of infectious agents.
Here are some of the infections dealt with in this speciality:
- Urinary tract infection
- Lower respiratory tract infection
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Gastrointestinal infection
- Internal organ infection
- Infection of wounds
- Seminal pathway infections
Not only does our service diagnose, treat and monitor infectious diseases but it also has a proactive approach and provides information on infection prevention.
