A MRSA screen is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria in a patient. This screening is often performed on individuals at higher risk of infection, such as those in hospitals or nursing homes. The test typically involves taking a swab from the nose or skin, and results help guide infection control measures and treatment decisions. Early detection is crucial for preventing the spread of MRSA in healthcare settings.
