Microbiology Testing

At Dhruv Diagnostics, our clinical microbiology laboratory identifies bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses using both conventional culture techniques and advanced molecular methods. Our BACT/ALERT blood culture system and BACTEC MGIT 960 for TB deliver results that are faster — and more reliable — than manual methods.

What We Offer

Our Microbiology Services

Identifying the real cause of infection, so your treatment is targeted, not guesswork.

Culture & Antibiotic Sensitivity

Culture & Antibiotic Sensitivity

Identifies the specific bacteria or fungus causing your infection and tests which antibiotics will actually work against it — preventing guesswork in antibiotic prescribing.

  • Blood, Urine & Wound Cultures
  • Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing
  • Automated Identification (VITEK)
  • BACT/ALERT Blood Cultures
TB Culture (BACTEC MGIT)

TB Culture (BACTEC MGIT)

Gold-standard liquid culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis with drug-sensitivity testing — faster than solid media, and essential for managing drug-resistant TB.

  • TB Culture (BACTEC MGIT)
  • GeneXpert MTB/RIF
  • AFB Smear Microscopy
  • Drug Susceptibility Testing
Fungal Culture & Mycology

Fungal Culture & Mycology

Identification of fungal pathogens including Candida, Aspergillus, and rare endemic fungi — critical for immunocompromised patients and those on long-term antibiotics.

  • Fungal Cultures
  • KOH Preparations
  • Antifungal Susceptibility
  • Dermatophyte Testing
BioFire Syndromic Panels

BioFire Syndromic Panels

Multiplex molecular panels that simultaneously test for dozens of pathogens from a single sample — meningitis, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and joint infection panels. Results in hours, not days.

  • Meningitis / Encephalitis Panel
  • Respiratory Panel
  • Gastrointestinal Panel
  • Joint Infection Panel
Parasitology

Parasitology

Detection of intestinal and systemic parasites including malaria, leishmaniasis, and intestinal worm infections.

  • Stool Ova & Parasites
  • Malaria Testing
  • Filariasis Detection
  • Giardia / Cryptosporidium
Virology

Virology

Viral detection and antibody testing for dengue, hepatitis, CMV, EBV, and other clinically relevant viruses.

  • Antigen Detection
  • Molecular Viral Testing
  • Serological Testing
  • Viral Load Monitoring
