The MRSA PCR Rapid – Nose & Groin test is a high-accuracy self-swab kit designed to detect Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonisation quickly and reliably. This MRSA home test kit uses real-time PCR analysis to identify MRSA DNA from swabs taken from the nose and groin, two of the most common areas MRSA colonises.
Whether you’re preparing for surgery, work in healthcare, or simply want peace of mind, this at-home MRSA test provides accurate, fast results without needing to visit a clinic or hospital.
MRSA is a drug-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus that can live harmlessly on the body but may cause serious infections if it enters the bloodstream, wounds, or internal tissues. It spreads easily in healthcare environments and can remain undetected in healthy individuals for months.
Testing for MRSA is especially important before:
Hospital admission or surgery
Starting work in healthcare or caregiving
Close contact with immunocompromised individuals
Recurrent skin infections or abscesses
A simple MRSA swab test can help prevent the spread of MRSA and support effective infection control.
