The Bacteriology and Mycology section identifies bacterial and fungal pathogens to help veterinarians determine the cause of disease and select effective treatment options. Using culture-based testing — the gold standard for assessing antimicrobial susceptibility — along with advanced tools such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for rapid organism identification, our team delivers accurate, actionable results to support clinical decision-making. The section also offers specialized diagnostic testing, including accredited testing for Contagious Equine Metritis, and provides consultation to help interpret results and guide next steps.
