*Definition: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are different strains of Staphylococcus aureus, or ‘staph’ bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotic methicillin as well as to related beta-lactam antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin, amoxicillin, and cephalosporin. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) testing is utilized to detect MRSAs and no other microbes. Nucleic acid amplification tests such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used for direct detection of mecA, which is the most common gene mediating oxacillin resistance in staphylococci.
