Microbiological research (searching for bacteria and mycetes) is carried out on different biological samples, such as:
- swabs: pharyngeal, lingual, oral-cable, nasal, ear, eye / conjunctivitis, skin.
- urine (urine culture).
- seminal fluid (semen culture).
- uro-genital swabs: vaginal, cervical, urethral, vulvar, anal, rectal, barnacle-preputial.
- sputum / phlegm
- faeces (coproculture).
- purulent material, nails / scales, etc.
- A quick examination can be carried out to trace Streptococcus group A beta-hemolytic (Streptococcus pyogenes), with results 2 hours after blood sample.
Specimens from genital organs: to search for common bacteria, Trichomonas vaginalis and mycetes.
The following are researched solely upon request:
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
- Urogenital mycoplasmas.
- Gardnerella vaginalis.
- Chlamydia trachomatis (rapid test, antigen or DNA testing).
- vaginal / rectal swab for group B beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) for women in pregnancy to term.
Coproculture: to search for Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp.
Only upon request faeces sample to specifically find:
- Candida spp.
- Campylobacter spp.
- difficult clostridium (even toxins A and B) p
- Escherichia coli 0: 157.
- yersinia spp.
- helicobacter pylori (antigen).
- rotavirus (antigen).
- adenovirus (antigen).
- cryptosporidium (to find antigen).
- giardia (to find antigen).
- intestinal parasites.
Scotch test (to find Pinworms).
Susceptibility testing and / or antimicogramma is done for significant microbial amounts and if specifically requested.
