DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY

History: 

Department Information

The Department of Microbiology was started as a combined department with Pathology in the year 1962.  Later in 1976, Department of Microbiology was separated with Dr. B. N. Joshi as the Head of the Department. It is a multidisciplinary unit consisting of Bacteriology, Serology, Myco-bacteriology, Mycology, Immunology, Parasitology, Virology and Molecular Biology sections.

Teaching is an integral part of the departmental academic activity.  Graduate courses include MBBS & BPMT. Post Graduate courses are conducted for award of M.D. in Microbiology and Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (PG-DMLT). M D Microbiology degree is recognized by Medical Council of India, with intake capacity five students per year.

Department organizes various academic activities such as Workshop on Rational Use of Antibiotics, Workshop on Molecular & Serology Testing and Data Analysis. It also conducts Refresher training  and EQAS workshops for Lab Technicians of linked ICTCs (Integrated Counseling & Testing Centre),  Training workshop  of lab technicians of linked district laboratories under IDSP ( Integrated Disease Surveillance Program), BMW management workshops for healthcare personnel periodically.

Department is actively involved in control activities for Hospital Associated Infections in the form of Hospital rounds, Continuous Training Program for health care workers.

Average 200000 investigations are performed annually by this department. The department plays pivotal role in investigating local outbreaks of Covid-19, Influenza, Cholera, Dengue, HEV, HAV, and Chikungunya.
