Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a Staph Bacteria

Recently, ContractLaboratory.com received a request from a company seeking a microbiology laboratory or surface testing for pathogenic bacteria & viruses including MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.  According to the US Center for Disease Control’s website, it’s a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics and can cause severe problems such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and surgical site infections.

MRSA Bacteria Magnified 20,000X

MRSA is detected by a laboratory culture of the bacteria. In addition to broth microdultion testing, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), recommends the cefoxitin disk screen test, the latex agglutination test for PBP2a, or a plate containing 6 μg/ml of oxacillin in Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 4% NaCl as alternative methods of testing for MRSA.

ContractLaboratory.com has helped many companies and healthcare facilities with research and Development Studies and Testing. These include the following examples:
