Diagnostic Microbiology
Reference Center for Pathogen Identification, Drug Resistance Monitoring, and Herd Health
This department is responsible for the culture, isolation, and precise identification of pathogenic microorganisms from clinical and referred samples. Phenotypic and biochemical identification of pathogens is conducted in accordance with international standard protocols. The department’s core activities focus on performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (antibiograms) and mapping drug resistance patterns. This data provides veterinarians with a scientifically robust basis for selecting the most effective treatment strategies, controlling disease outbreaks, and ensuring the prudent use of antibiotics. Furthermore, by providing systematic and targeted microbiological data, the department plays an active role in monitoring herd health, the early detection of circulating pathogens, and supporting disease prevention and biosecurity programs at the herd level.
Core services of this section:
Cultivation, isolation, and phenotypic and biochemical identification of pathogens from clinical and referred samples, following international standard protocols
Conducting antibiogram tests and determining drug resistance profiles to support therapeutic decision-making and antibiotic usage management
Microbiological monitoring of herd health, early detection of circulating pathogens, and assessment of the epidemiological status of infectious diseases within the herd
Evaluating microbial safety indicators and identifying potential pathogens to prevent disease outbreaks and strengthen biosecurity programs
Providing specialized laboratory reports and reliable scientific data to support disease control, treatment processes, and technical decision-making
Food and Feed Microbiology
Product Health Monitoring and Production Chain Protection
The microbiological quality of food products and animal feed is a prerequisite for safe and sustainable production. Utilizing up-to-date, standardized methods, this department continuously monitors product compliance with national and international standards. Testing activities include measuring total microbial load, controlling fungal contamination (molds and yeasts), and screening for foodborne pathogens, thereby ensuring the product’s biological safety throughout the production and distribution stages.
Key services of this department:
Identification, enumeration, and assessment of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in raw materials, nutritional supplements, feed additives, and veterinary products using standard microbiological methods
Measurement of total microbial load, control of fungal contamination (molds and yeasts), and screening for foodborne pathogens
Assessment of microbiological quality and monitoring for potential contamination in raw materials and finished products to ensure compliance with established quality standards and technical specifications
Provision of specialized laboratory reports and reliable scientific data to support quality control, production, and research and development processes
