Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

An MRSA culture test is a laboratory procedure used to detect the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. It involves taking swabs (an MRSA swab test) from key body sites, such as the nose, groin, and armpit, where colonization is most common.

MRSA is a drug-resistant bacteria that can cause serious infections, especially after surgery. MRSA screening is vital because colonized individuals often have no symptoms but can spread the bacteria. Screening helps detect colonization early and is crucial for infection control protocols.

The MRSA nose-groin-axilla culture test is highly accurate. Studies show that detection is most sensitive (up to 98%) when combining nasal and groin swabs, and including the axilla further increases accuracy. Sensitivity is highest when using multi-site sampling.

  • You’re having surgery, particularly orthopedic or cardiac procedures
  • You’re being admitted to a hospital or care facility

For the most accurate detection, samples are collected from three key sites: the inside of the nose (nasal swab), the groin (groin swab), and the armpit (underarm swab).

The turnaround time for the MRSA culture test is generally 24 to 72 hours from the time the lab receives the sample. Some labs also offer MRSA PCR tests (rapid tests) that can provide results within a few hours.

  • A healthcare provider or self-collection kit is used to collect swabs from the nose, groin, and axilla.
  • The samples are placed in transport media and sent to a lab for culture.
  • In the lab, the swabs are plated on chromogenic MRSA media or enrichment broth.
