Advanced Microbiology Services and Technologies
At Medicover, our microbiology lab is equipped with modern technology, enabling precise and rapid detection of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. Key services include:
Culture Tests & Sensitivity
We perform bacterial, fungal, and mycobacterial (e.g., TB) cultures, followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing to guide targeted therapy.
- Identify the exact bacteria, fungi, or pathogens growing in the sample
- Determine which antibiotics or antifungal medicines are most effective
- Help doctors choose the right treatment and prevent drug-resistant infections
- Support faster recovery through precise, evidence-based infection management
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Our microbiology department is essential for diagnosing and managing a broad spectrum of infectious diseases, including:
Bacterial Infections
These occur when harmful bacteria enter the body, causing issues like urinary tract infections, wound infections or bloodstream infections. Symptoms may include fever, pain and general weakness.
Viral Infections
Viruses can affect the respiratory system, bloodstream or even cause long-term illnesses. They may lead to fever, cough, fatigue and body pains depending on the type of virus.
Fungal Infections
Fungal diseases may affect the skin, nails or deeper organs. They can cause itching, rashes, breathing problems or systemic symptoms when the infection spreads.
Parasitic Infections
Parasites such as worms or protozoa can cause stomach problems, anemia, fever or long-lasting fatigue. These infections often spread through contaminated food, water or mosquito bites.
Mycobacterial Infections (Including Tuberculosis)
These infections, especially TB, affect the lungs or other organs. They may cause persistent cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss or chronic weakness.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Monitoring
We check how germs respond to antibiotics and identify which medicines work best. This helps doctors choose safe, effective treatments and prevents infections from becoming harder to treat.
Hospital-Acquired Infections
These infections develop during hospital stays due to exposure to resistant germs or medical procedures. They may lead to fever, wound issues or new symptoms after admission, requiring careful monitoring and timely treatment.

Advanced Facilities and Technology We Use
To ensure accurate detection and effective management of infections, Medicover Hospitals uses advanced microbiology equipment and laboratory technology:
Automated Blood Culture Systems
These systems quickly detect bacteria and fungi in blood samples, enabling early diagnosis of serious infections like sepsis.
Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (AST)
Advanced analyzers identify the exact microorganism causing an infection and determine the most effective antibiotics for targeted treatment.
PCR-Based Molecular Testing
PCR technology detects viral, bacterial, and fungal DNA with high precision, ensuring rapid diagnosis of infections such as tuberculosis, COVID-19, and respiratory viruses.
Advanced Fungal Culture Systems
Specialized incubators and culture platforms allow accurate detection of fungal pathogens responsible for skin, nail, and systemic infections.
Automated TB Diagnostic Platforms
These advanced systems rapidly detect tuberculosis and drug-resistant TB strains, supporting quick and reliable treatment decisions.
BioSafety Level-II Laboratories
Designed for safe handling of infectious samples, these labs ensure maximum protection for patients and healthcare staff.
Automated Hematology Analyzers
These systems assist in identifying infection markers, immune responses, and inflammatory conditions linked to microbial diseases.

Patient Success Stories
Real experiences from patients who regained their mobility and quality of life
Rohan had been getting high fevers on and off for almost a month, and we couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The microbiology team at Medicover finally helped us get answers. They found the exact infection and explained everything patiently. Within a few days of starting the right treatment, Rohan started feeling like himself again. We’re so relieved.

My daughter kept having a sore throat that never fully went away. We tried so many medicines, but nothing worked for long. At Medicover, the doctors did a detailed culture test and identified the bacteria causing it. After the proper treatment, Aaradhya hasn’t had any throat issues since. I’m really grateful for their thoroughness.
