Golden Gate Microbiology Laboratory

The Emergency Department of the UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus Heights attends more than 38,000 patients every year, a lot of them showing signs of infections. The Golden Gate Microbiology Laboratory researches and studies so all these patients can get the best best treatment possible as fast as we can detect what's wrong. Rapid detection is one of our primary goals.

Antibiotics are an important tool for treating bacterial infections. And the antibiotic resistance is a major problem for public health today. Everyone can help prevent making this worse. Inform yourself and don’t use antibiotics without prescription and without care.

Knowledge is fun.
