INDICATIONS FOR BACTERIOLOGY STUDIES

• Chronic respiratory organ disorders
• Purulent processes
• Gastrointestinal infections, dysbacteriosis
• Infections of the urinoexcretory system
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Sepsis

OUR LABORATORY PERFORMS:

• studies of stool and pathogenic intestinal flora swabs for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms
• studies of blood for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms
• studies of sputum and bronchial washings for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms
• studies of urine for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms (using the semi-quantitative method)
• studies of puss obtained from wounds, drainages, abscesses, transudates, exudates etc. for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms;
• studies of materials obtained from the urogenital tract (urethra and genital organs) for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms;
• studies of materials obtained from sensory organs (eyes and ears) for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms;
• studies of materials obtained from nasal pharynx, nose and oral pharynx for aerobic and optionally anaerobic organisms;
• studies of breast milk;
• studies of intestinal microbiocenosis (dysbacteriosis) in the absence of diagnostically significant microbial organisms;
• determination of sensitivity of a specific microbe strain to antibiotics.

All the studies are performed by the Bacteriology Laboratory using advanced analyzing equipment.
