MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiological research (searching for bacteria and mycetes) is carried out on different biological samples, such as:

• swabs: pharyngeal, lingual, oral-cable, nasal, ear, eye / conjunctivitis, skin.
• urine (urine culture).
• seminal fluid (semen culture).
• uro-genital swabs: vaginal, cervical, urethral, ​​vulvar, anal, rectal, barnacle-preputial.
• sputum / phlegm
• faeces (coproculture).
• purulent material, nails / scales, etc.
• A quick examination can be carried out to trace Streptococcus group A beta-hemolytic (Streptococcus pyogenes), with results 2 hours after blood sample.

Specimens from genital organs: to search for common bacteria, Trichomonas vaginalis and mycetes.

The following are researched solely upon request:

• Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
• Urogenital mycoplasmas.
• Gardnerella vaginalis.
• Chlamydia trachomatis (rapid test, antigen or DNA testing).
• vaginal / rectal swab for group B beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) for women in pregnancy to term.

Coproculture: to search for Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp.

Only upon request faeces sample to specifically find:

• Candida spp.
• Campylobacter spp.
• difficult clostridium (even toxins A and B) p
• Escherichia coli 0: 157.
• yersinia spp.
• helicobacter pylori (antigen).
• rotavirus (antigen).
• adenovirus (antigen).
• cryptosporidium (to find antigen).
• giardia (to find antigen).
• intestinal parasites.

Scotch test (to find Pinworms).

Susceptibility testing and / or antimicogramma is done for significant microbial amounts and if specifically requested.
