In our country the microbiology tools in postmortem investigations are not used routinely,but we used when that necessary
In Spain, forensic microbiology is not used routinely in all autopsied cases. However, we use this ancillary examination in specific cases such as SIDS, sudden death in the young with suspected infection (e.g. meningococcal sepsis, myocarditis) and in all natural or violent deaths where the antecedents, death scenario and autopsy findings suggest an infection. We use also microbiology in cases of alimentary intoxication. The core centre of the forensic microbiology lab is located in Madrid at the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences.
In Egypt, forensic microbiology is not used routinely in all autopsied cases.,
Yes , In most tertiary centers it is done depending on indications and requirement of case . It is not done in each and every case.
Not routinely, that in every case. But being a part of postgraduate teaching hospital, we use it very frequently as and when required. We even call the medical microbiologists to attend the autopsy hall during dissection for taking samples.
No, in Brazil microbiology is not used in post mortem investigation
