Laboratory for Medical Microbiology
The department of Medical Microbiology is responsible for the diagnosis of infectious diseases (bacteriology, virology, serology, parasitology and mycology) and infection prevention at UMC Utrecht. In addition, all kinds of trials are done in which microbiological diagnostics need to be performed, both viral and bacteriological.
Services
Facilities are available to grow bacteriological and viral strains and perform molecular analyses. We have specific expertise in the field of antimicrobial resistance and perform both molecular and phenotypic assays to determine resistance to bacteria as well as viruses. We have several clinical strains of viruses and bacteria for research purposes. We deploy next generation sequencing techniques in bacteriology and virology and are in the final stage of setting up a pipeline for microbiome research.
