Advanced Microbiology Testing | Siliguri Star Hospital

The branch of medical science that deals with the study of microscopic creatures, such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, algae, and protozoa that are too small to be seen by the naked eyes and can be seen with the help of a microscope. They have an impact on both human health and the environment. Many of them are useful and are utilized to improve our lives in many ways, and some of them can cause diseases.

The Department of Microbiology at Star Hospital Siliguri is fully dedicated to researching these microbes in order to understand how they may impact human health and how we may apply that to prevent and cure illnesses. Our microbiologist puts in endless efforts to comprehend the actions of these microorganisms and how they affect the human body.

The ability of microbiology to diagnose illnesses is one of its main advantages. Microorganisms such as viruses, fungus, and bacteria are the source of many infections. Our microbiologists examine patient samples to diagnose the source of an infection. This enables doctors to recommend the appropriate treatment, such as antifungal drugs for fungal infections or antibiotics for bacterial infections.
Microbiology plays a critical role in tracking the behaviour and spread of viruses, particularly in situations of viral illnesses such as COVID-19 and the flu.
Our microbiologists at Star Hospital examine many types of samples including blood, urine, tissue, and other samples in our state-of-the-art labs to look for potentially dangerous germs. This is useful not just for disease diagnosis but also for tracking the effectiveness of treatment. The knowledge of microbes also helps them understand and track potential infection patterns, giving doctors an advantage to take preventive action before the health of the patient gets bad.

In addition the study of antibiotic resistance, the state in which bacteria develop an immunity towards antibiotics, is a current area of focus for our team. This is an issue that is becoming more and more of a global concern, and our experts may contribute to the development of new, more effective drugs by researching the ways in which bacteria adapt.

Star Hospital's microbiology section offers more than just a lab. The health of each patient is extremely important to our team of microbiologists. to provide patients with accurate diagnosis and the best possible care, they work closely with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare members of the hospital as the treatment of the patient is of paramount importance here.

Our team of microbiologists at Star Hospital Siliguri is something we are proud of since they are committed to using their expertise to help our patients.
Their work is critical to ensure that our patients receive the best care, from identifying infections to providing help with respect to other departments. With their knowledge and our cutting-edge facilities, we keep pushing the limits of medical research for everyone's benefit.
