Veterinary Microbiological Diagnostic Centre
The Veterinary Microbiological Diagnostic Centre (VMDC) of the faculty of Veterinary Medicine offers a broad scala of diagnostic assays for veterinary infectious diseases (bacteriology, virology, serology, parasitology and mycology) in animals. We are an important sparring partner for practitioners in the diagnosis and treatment of animals. Next to routine diagnostics on clinical samples, the VMDC leads a national project on the monitoring of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance in companion animals. The VMDC is part of the division of Clinical Infectiology that focuses on two main research themes:
- Antimicrobial and anthelmintic resistance
- Studies on zoonotic pathogens.
The close interaction between the VMDC and the research group facilitates exchange of expertise and results.
Services
