Microbiology

  Bacterial cultures and antibiotic sensitivities with CLSI guidance on resistance mechanisms

  Add-on tests to aspirate culture requests such as polarized microscopy for crystals, amoeba from liver aspirates, and TB microscopy as relevant

  MRSA screening for infection control and pre-operative patients

  Viral detection and quantification e.g. HIV viral loads, Hepatitis B viral loads

  Mycobacterium (tuberculosis) culture and molecular tests. Genotyping for drug resistance

  PCR STI panel for C.trachomatis and N.gonorrhoeae

  Examination of thick and thin blood films for species of malaria and rapid antigen detection for P. falciparum

  Stool cultures for pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, EPEC (including serotyping), Campylobacter

  Fungal antigen, microscopy and cultures – Aspergillus precipitins, β-D glucan, PCP

  COVID-19 RT-PCR testing and rapid antigen detection
