Rapid detection of swine flu and another 32 pathogenic viruses and bacteria in our genetic laboratory

February 4, 2019

Our laboratory is one of the few in Macedonia that provides detection of swine flu in just a few hours.

Our DNA and RNA tests are much faster, more specific, more accurate and more sensitive compared to traditional microbiological tests.

In addition to swine virus (influenza A (H1N1) swl), our test detects another 32 pathogenic viruses and bacteria:

• Influenza A (FluA),
• Influenza B (FluB),
• Influenza C (FluC),
• Parainfluenza 1,
• Parainfluenza 2,
• Parainfluenza 3,
• Parainfluenza 4,
• Coronavirus NL63,
• Coronavirus 229E,
• Coronavirus OC43,
• Coronavirus HKU1,
• Human metapneumovirus A/B,
• Rhinovirus,
• Respiratory syncytial viruses A/B,
• Adenovirus,
• Enterovirus,
• Parechovirus,
• Bocavirus,
• Pneumocystis jirovecii,
• Mycoplasma pneumoniae,
• Chlamydia pneumoniae,
• Streptococcus pneumoniae,
• Haemophilus influenzae type B,
• Staphylococcus aureus,
• Moraxella catarrhalis,
• Bordetella spp. (except Bordetella parapertussis),
• Klebsiella pneumoniae,
• Legionella pneumophila/ Legionella longbeachae,
• Haemophilus influenzae,
• Salmonella spp
