Bacteriology

The study and identification of bacteria that cause infectious diseases, using culture, staining, and biochemical testing to support accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Histopathology

The microscopic examination of tissue samples to detect disease-related changes in cells and tissue structure, aiding in the diagnosis of infections, inflammation, and other pathological conditions.

Molecular Assays

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and quantitative PCR are techniques used to detect and measure specific genetic material from pathogens, allowing for rapid, sensitive, and precise diagnosis of infectious diseases.
