Laboratory Bacteriological

A bacteriological laboratory is a specialized institution that carries out microbiological and sanitary-bacteriological analyses. It can be part of sanitary-epidemiological stations or clinics, and its main task is to identify pathogens of infectious diseases, clarify the diagnosis and control treatment. At sanitary-epidemiological stations, the bacteriological laboratory can also conduct tests of water, food and air to determine the level of contamination and identify potential sources of infections.

During the work of the bacteriological laboratory, various analyzes are carried out, including culture on nutrient media and microscopy of bacteria. The results of these studies can help determine the cause of the disease, determine its severity and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Bacteriological laboratories play an important role in combating infectious diseases and maintaining public health. They provide rapid and accurate detection of pathogens, which allows timely measures to be taken to prevent the spread of infection and improve people’s quality of life.

Introduction

**Bacteriological laboratory** is a separate unit of sanitary and epidemiological control and is intended to study material for the presence of bacteria, viruses and parasites. In this article we will take a closer look at the concept and main functions of a bacteriological laboratory.

What is a bacteriological laboratory? A bacteriological laboratory is a complex of specialized tools and equipment necessary to perform microbiological tests to identify pathogens of infectious diseases. It can be included in the sanitary-epidemiological stations or, in turn, be one of the divisions of the clinical diagnostic laboratory. Within a hospital or clinic, and sometimes as a branch of the regional center of the sanitary and epidemiological service, a real laboratory for detecting infections can function. Although more often the infectious disease service is located in a general laboratory or their combination is called an infection unit. Other institutions only examine patients and then send them to
