What are Clinical Microbiology and Serology?
While they work hand-in-hand, these are two distinct and vital branches of laboratory medicine used to detect infectious diseases:
(a) Clinical Microbiology focuses on finding the actual “bugs.” It involves isolating, culturing, and identifying the microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites, that are causing an infection in your body.
(b) Serology: It looks at your body’s defense system. It involves analyzing blood serum to detect antibodies. When you are exposed to a virus or bacteria, your immune system creates specific antibodies to fight it off. Serology testing detects these antibodies to confirm if you have an active or past infection.

Our laboratory at IPIMS Hospital is fully equipped to handle a comprehensive range of infectious disease testing. Our core services include:
We perform routine and specialized cultures using state-of-the-art automated systems. Whether it is a suspected Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), a respiratory infection, or a wound that won’t heal, we analyze:
Blood Cultures
Urine & Stool Cultures
Sputum & Throat Swabs
Pus and Tissue Cultures
Blood Cultures
Urine & Stool Cultures
Sputum & Throat Swabs
Pus and Tissue Cultures
Identifying the bacteria is only half the battle; knowing how to kill it is the other. Once a pathogen is cultured, we perform AST to determine exactly which antibiotics will work best against it. This prevents the misuse of antibiotics and ensures you get better faster, combating the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.
During seasonal changes, diagnosing the exact cause of a sudden fever is crucial. Our serology department provides rapid, accurate testing for:
Dengue (NS1 Antigen & Antibodies)
Typhoid (Widal & Typhidot)
Malaria Antigen
Chikungunya
Dengue (NS1 Antigen & Antibodies)
Typhoid (Widal & Typhidot)

Chikungunya
We offer highly sensitive serological testing for critical viral infections, ensuring safe blood screening and accurate diagnosis for:
HIV (AIDS)
Hepatitis B (HBsAg) and Hepatitis C (HCV)
Syphilis (VDRL)

Sometimes the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. We help diagnose these conditions and track inflammation through tests like:
Rheumatoid Factor (RF) for arthritis
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) to detect systemic inflammation
