Clinical microbiology plays an important role in
INTODUCTION TO CLINICAL
patient care by providing the cause of infection
MICROBIOLOGY
and antimicrobial susceptibility data to physicians
. It is laboratory devoted to the culturing ,
identification of organisms including bacteria,
virus, yeasts. It also has a crucial role in effective
infection prevention and control(IPC)
A high quality laboratory should include both
conventional microbiology methods and
molecular microbiology techniques for
exceptional performance. It should include
appropriate laboratory administration, a well
designed facility, laboratory procedure
standarization , a waste management system, a
proper code of practice, equipment installation
and laboratory personnel training.

CATEGORY OF WASTE
WASTE
Waste Treatment
1. Chemical treatment; It is applied to all types of
waste except body parts and fluids. Chemicals used
in disinfection are: bleach, sod.hypochlorite, chlorine
etc.
2. Microwave irradiation;It is effective for all except
large metals and body parts. The water of the waste
heats, which eliminates the infectious component.
3. Autoclaving; It is applied to sterilize dressings,
hloves syringes,specific instruments, discarded
4. Encapsulation;It is recommended for the
safe disposable of sharp objects. The
waste is collected in a puncture proof
container. After it becomes a three
quarter full motar, materal like cement,
plastic foam, or clay is poured. After it
gets dry it is disposed.
5. Incineration; It is applied only for most
hazardous waste that cannot be reused
or recycled or cant be disposed of at the
landfill site.
Waste Disposable
1. Land filling; It is the oldest technology, but
still several low income countries rely on it.
Unfortunatetly, the problem of infiliteration
arises; as a result toxic, pathogenicmaterials
have access to soil and water resources.
Open dumps should be avoided due to
public health risks.
2. Sanitary landfills; Sand landfill with an anti-
seepage system has been developed to
overcome the harmful effects os a general
landfill. It is covered with clay, high density
polythene, a gas collection system and
output pipelines.
WHY THE LABORATORY IS NEEDED IN THE ZONAL
HOSPITAL?
To upgrade and introduce new facility at
zonal hospital.
To introduce new technology for specified
test that are not available at municipality
or district laboratories.
To strength the overall capacity of health
laboratory services through supervision
and monitoring.
It provdes high quality store of the art
diagnostic services with experience
microbiologist.
Also during pandemic phase(corona
virus) PCR test was the must
confirmatory test which were done only
on zonal level laboratories.
Zonal laboratory is able to diagnose PCR
test, infuenza and other viruses
respiratory syncytical, virus, Ebola virus
and etc.
