Arihant Hsopital’s Department of Microbiology provides diagnostic services to the hospital in the areas of bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology, and serology. The department gives accurate clinical material results in the lowest amount of time. The department provides a broad spectrum of high-quality microbiological services, from standard cultures to molecular diagnostic tests, including round-the-clock laboratory services and the utilisation of cutting-edge technology. The microbiology laboratory is outfitted with cutting-edge diagnostic tools such as an automated blood culture system (BACTEC), an automated identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing system (Vitek-2), a conventional PCR, a fluorescent microscope, and other traditional microbiological tools. To run these complex devices, the laboratory employs a team of efficient, motivated, experienced, and skilled doctors and technicians who are always active in delivering world-class findings and maintaining quality assurance. In addition, the department is in charge of the hospital’s epidemiology and infection prevention programmes. Cancer patients are usually immunocompromised, putting them at risk for a variety of opportunistic and healthcare-associated diseases. A strong infection prevention programme is critical for lowering the risk of infection. The department focuses on infection control measures for our cancer center’s patients, healthcare professionals, and visitors.
