Laboratory of medical microbiology (LMM)

Head of Service: 

LMM is a laboratory specialized in microbiology, infectious serology and molecular biology

Some microbiological diagnostics require heavy and sophisticated technology. That is why a centralisation of diagnostic methods in a medical microbiology laboratory is essential. Within Sciensano, the medical microbiology laboratory provides analyses:

  • For medical laboratories, since these analyses are not carried out by them,
  • For medical laboratories in the event of confirmation of diagnosis, within the framework of the National Reference Centres in Microbiology,
  • For the medical inspectors of the Communities, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and the Flemisch Community.

A supervisory team of medical and scientific personnel upholds the quality of the laboratory thus meeting the national INAMI and international requirements (ISO 15189).

The laboratory has approval number 82860665998 of the National Institute for Disease and Handicap.
