About This Product

MRSA PCR Single Swab Test – At-Home Detection of MRSA Infection or Colonisation

The MRSA PCR Single Swab Test is a quick and reliable at-home test that checks for MRSA wound infection or colonisation at one body site. It uses PCR technology to find MRSA DNA with high sensitivity, even if only a small amount is present.
This test is meant for checking one area, like a wound or nose, as advised by a clinician. It is useful for targeted screening, confirming clearance after treatment, or simply for reassurance without needing to visit a GP or hospital.

What Is MRSA?

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a bacteria that does not respond to many common antibiotics. It can live on the skin or in the nose without causing symptoms, or it can lead to wound infections and serious problems if it gets into the body.
Testing for MRSA at one site shows if MRSA is just present or causing an infection. This helps guide treatment and infection control.

What Does This Test Detect?

This single-site MRSA PCR test is designed to:
  • ✔ Detect MRSA colonisation at a chosen site
  • ✔ Check for MRSA wound infection
  • ✔ Confirm MRSA clearance after treatment
  • ✔ Screen a specific area of concern using one swab only

If you want to check more than one area, such as the nose, groin, or armpit, a multi-swab MRSA test is a better choice.

  1. Collect your sample
    Take a sample from one area, like a wound or nose, using the sterile swab and the instructions provided.
  2. Return your sample to our UK laboratory
    Your sample is tested with real-time PCR, which is considered the best method for finding MRSA.
  3. Receive rapid results
