Microbiology deals with the study of living organisms that are not visible to the naked eye. Organisms such as bacteria, fungi and non-living entities like viruses all belong the microbiological universe.
Ever since germ theory was established and validated and the role of antibiotics was evident in the treatment of patients, the work that goes on in the microbiology labs form among the cornerstones of modern medicine.
At MegaCare Specialized Polyclinic and Diagnostic Centre, we have among the best microbiology labs in Northern Tanzania. We even do Culture and Sensitivity testing which is of paramount importance in the management of infectious disease cases. Culturing an organism means to grow the organism and identify it while sensitivity testing is to see which medications the grown organism responds to and which medications the organism is resistant to. This helps guide the treatment of the patient based on scientific evidence.
