An MRSA culture test detects Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria resistant to common antibiotics. MRSA often lives on the skin or in the nose or groin without causing symptoms—but it can spread easily and lead to serious infections, especially after surgery or in hospitals.
This test uses sterile swabs from the nose and groin, two of the most common MRSA colonisation sites. It identifies whether you’re carrying MRSA—even if you feel completely well.
MRSA screening is often required before surgery or hospital admission. You may need this test if you:
Are scheduled for surgery (e.g. orthopaedic or cardiac)
Work in healthcare, social care, or a hospital
Visit or live with vulnerable individuals
Have had MRSA in the past
Are entering a care home or medical facility
Even without symptoms, MRSA can be passed to others. Testing helps protect patients, staff, and the community.
Your kit includes:
2x sterile MRSA swabs (1x nasal, 1x groin)
2x labelled sample tubes
Step-by-step collection instructions
Free return envelope for lab analysis
Digital results within 1–3 working days
No special training needed – just follow the simple guide included in your kit.
Order online – with free UK-wide tracked shipping
Take your swabs – collect samples from your nose and groin
Send them back – using the pre-paid return envelope
Receive results – securely via email, typically in 24–72 hours
Your test is analysed in a UKAS-accredited medical laboratory, meeting NHS-level quality standards.
Negative: No MRSA was found – you are not colonised at the time of testing.
Positive: MRSA was detected – even without symptoms, you may be a carrier. A GP or healthcare provider may recommend decolonisation treatment before surgery or hospitalisation.
How long are MRSA results valid?
Results are generally valid for 4–6 weeks, unless you’ve had new exposure or symptoms. Always check with your hospital or care provider for their requirements.
