FAQ's
Clinical Microbiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the identification and diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Serology is the study of blood serum and other bodily fluids to detect and measure the presence of antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to infections.
Clinical Microbiology laboratories analyze various samples, including blood, urine, stool, sputum, and swabs from wounds, throat, or genital areas, to identify the causative agents of infections.
Microbial infections are diagnosed through a combination of methods, including culture (growing microorganisms in a laboratory), microscopy, molecular techniques (like PCR), and serological tests.
Common serological tests include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), agglutination tests, and Western blotting. These tests help detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to infections.
An Antibiotic Sensitivity Test (also known as susceptibility testing) is conducted to determine the most effective antibiotic treatment for a bacterial infection. It involves exposing the bacteria to different antibiotics to see which ones inhibit their growth.
Yes, serological tests can determine if someone has been exposed to a particular infection in the past by detecting the presence of antibodies specific to that infection in the blood.
Clinical Microbiology and Serology play a crucial role in diagnosing infections, guiding appropriate treatment, monitoring response to therapy, and helping in infection control measures.
