Medical microbiology provides the laboratory testing behind the diagnosis and treatment of infections. The laboratories at our partner hospital support inpatient, outpatient and emergency care across bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, molecular microbiology and infection immunology, with a broad and regularly updated test panel. MedLuxLife coordinates sample collection during your visit and ensures your results are translated and shared with your doctors.
Treatments and services
Bacteriology
Identification of bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility testing, combining classical culture with rapid confirmatory methods and same-day stained microscopy.
Mycobacteriology (tuberculosis)
Isolation and identification of acid-fast organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex, including molecular methods and the Quantiferon TB Gold test.
Virology
Antigen and antibody serology, sensitive detection of HIV and hepatitis agents, and confirmatory testing where needed.
Parasitology
Diagnosis of parasitic infections using classical methods supported by serological tests.
Mycology
Identification of yeasts, dermatophytes and moulds, plus galactomannan antigen testing for suspected aspergillus infection in immunocompromised patients.
Molecular microbiology
PCR-based detection, genotyping and viral load testing, including viruses monitored after transplantation.
Syndromic molecular panels
Rapid multiplex testing of blood cultures, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cerebrospinal and joint fluid samples, with simultaneous detection of resistance genes.
Infection immunology
Immunological tests that support the diagnosis of infectious diseases.
