MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is typically detected through laboratory testing of samples taken from infected areas, such as wounds, blood, or nasal swabs. The samples are cultured to identify the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing to confirm methicillin resistance. Rapid molecular tests, such as PCR, can also be used for quicker detection by identifying MRSA-specific genetic markers.

Does mrsa not isolated mean the pt does not have mrsa?
"MRSA not isolated" typically indicates that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was not detected in the patient's sample. However, this does not definitively mean the patient does not have MRSA; it may suggest that the bacteria were not present in the tested sample or that the infection is caused by a different organism. Further clinical evaluation and testing may be needed for a conclusive diagnosis.
