Our department identifies bacterial, viral, and fungal infections through specialized culture and sensitivity testing, along with bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and other infectious conditions affecting various body systems.

This test determines which antibiotics will effectively treat a specific infection by measuring bacterial response to different drugs. It’s essential for guiding physicians toward the most effective treatment while supporting responsible antibiotic use and reducing resistance.

Culture results typically take 24–72 hours, depending on the type of specimen and organism involved, since bacteria need time to grow before identification and susceptibility testing can be completed. Our automated systems help minimize this turnaround wherever possible.

We test a wide range of specimens including blood, urine, sputum, wound swabs, stool, and other sterile body fluids, depending on the suspected site of infection and your physician’s clinical assessment.

Yes, many microbiology specimens such as blood, urine, and swabs can be collected through our free home sample collection service in Lahore, though some specialized samples may require collection at the lab — our team can advise you.
