What is MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) DNA Detection by PCR?

This test uses PCR technology to detect the DNA of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from a swab sample. MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to several common antibiotics.

Why is this test important?

Detecting MRSA is crucial for identifying infections that may be harder to treat with standard antibiotics. It helps guide appropriate treatment choices and infection control measures, especially in healthcare settings or for individuals at higher risk.

How to Prepare

Follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding the swab collection site (e.g., nose, throat, wound).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
