Test Description
What does microbiology mean?
Simply put, microbiology is the study of micro-organisms that cause disease. Infections are nothing but medical disorders that are caused by infected micro-organisms. Microbiological testing, which often implies testing for harmful organisms or pathogens that cause infections, makes for a widely applied and highly useful branch of medical diagnostics.
What does a microbiology test tell your doctor?
Microbiology testing will tell your doctor the exact pathogen that has caused the infection and also let the doctor know the most suitable drugs that can be administered to counter the infection.
