Dear visitor!

Most infections can be treated nowadays – preconditioned that they are diagnosed in time. In close co-operation with clinicians it is essential to find the causative agents for infectious diseases, to identify the pathogens and to treat them with success.

Therefore, the Institute HMM performes microbiological diagnostics for the University Hospital of Innsbruck, other hospitals and practitioners. Classical methods for direct identification of pathogens (microscopy, culture, and antigen tests) are provided for the whole spectrum of microbiology, molecular biology methods for special questions.

The spectrum of performance comprises the detection of bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Diagnostics of infectious diseases are an essential part of modern medicine. Besides, laboratory work, consulting – via telephone or directly at bedside – is an important element of our service.

As a university institute active in research, it is our task to permanently introduce new techniques and microbiological findings into our diagnostic tests and to evaluate them, and to perform epidemiological analyses to derive optimal strategies for prevention.
