A molecular assay that detects the DNA of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics. Early identification helps prevent infection spread and guides treatment decisions.
This at-home MRSA PCR swab kit lets you test for MRSA at home without visiting a clinic. Using sensitive molecular analysis, it detects Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonisation in both the nose and groin.
Ideal for individuals with recurrent skin infections, those preparing for surgery, healthcare workers, or anyone who wants peace of mind. This swab test complements other home blood testing kits and blood test kits for a full health screening.
“Convenient, accurate and fully supported by Mayfield Clinic’s GP team.”
Our MRSA PCR at-home swab test shows over 95% accuracy in detecting MRSA colonisation. PCR methods amplify bacterial DNA, providing sensitive and specific results comparable to clinic-based testing.
Collect gently by swabbing inside each nostril and the crease of each groin with the provided purple-cap Amies swabs, following the step-by-step instructions. Seal both swabs in the transport tube and return in the prepaid envelope.
The MRSA PCR test detects DNA from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, identifying whether you carry this antibiotic-resistant organism in your nose or groin.
You’ll receive your results within 3–5 working days after the lab receives your sample. We also offer a GP follow-up appointment in person or via video (additional fee) to review your results and next steps.
