The study of microbes that cause illness is known as microbiology. Microbiological testing is a widely used and advantageous field of medical diagnostics that frequently involves testing for pathogens that cause diseases or toxic organisms. A microbiology test will identify the specific pathogen that caused your infection and inform your doctor of the best medications to take to treat it.
Doctors mostly recommend a comprehensive range of tests that help in infectious disorders such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, fungal infections, pneumonia, urinary infections, blood-based bacterial infection, etc.

The Microbiological testing is the method which is used in analyzing and imaging of the microorganisms on the patient samples to find any cause of the infection, and it will also assist in diagnosis and the treatment of your disease.
In case of clinical microbiology laboratory which helps in relying on the traditional diagnostic methods. This includes:
In case of the receipt of any high-quality specimen, it is integral to enable accurate testing.
Microbial Limit Test (MLT) is used to performed and in assessment of how many along with the values that are certain viable microorganisms and those are present in the non-sterile pharmaceutical, in healthcare or in cosmetics manufacturing samples that would range from your raw materials to the finished products.
Direct Examination and Techniques: In case of Direct examination of the gross pathology is revealed. The Microscopy thus helps in identifying the microorganisms. In case of the Immunofluorescence, with immuno-peroxidase staining, and along with other immunoassays detects the specific microbial antigens.
The Genetic probes identify any genus- or species-specific DNA or RNA sequences.
Group A streptococcus is identified.
Throat culture: The swab is rubs over back of throat and your tonsils to get sample of the secretions. The sample later on is used in culture in the laboratory for presence of bacteria, but the results could take long as two days.
Rapid strep test: This test would quickly show if the group A strep bacteria are causing illness. If test is positive, doctors would prescribe antibiotics. If your test is negative, but a healthcare professional would suspect strep throat, doctor would take the throat culture swab.
