What is Virology and Bacteriology Testing?
Virology and Bacteriology testing uses advanced molecular biology techniques to detect viruses and bacteria that cause illness. A sample is collected from the patient—such as nasal swabs, blood, or other fluids—and analyzed in our lab for signs of infection.
For example, COVID-19 testing involves a nasal swab that is examined in the lab to identify the presence of the virus. At Prime Health Dx Lab, we use real-time PCR testing, a highly accurate method proven to detect viruses such as COVID-19, Influenza, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and more.
Available Tests and Panels
Our lab offers specialized panels to detect specific viral and bacterial infections. Respiratory Panel tests target both bacteria and viruses, while GI Panel tests focus on gastrointestinal infections.
Respiratory Panel Examples:
-
