Guide for use: | Supports clinical management by identifying a range of antibiotics that can be used to treat a patient infected with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Required for MRSA isolates only, where the Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to methicillin. CODE 1 Yes Record if the MRSA isolate is susceptible to any of the antibiotics tested. CODE 2 No Record if the MRSA isolate is not susceptible (i.e. resistant) to any of the antibiotics tested. Intermediate level resistance is reported as 2 (resistant). Must be used in conjunction with the metadata item Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility, text X[X(39)] to indicate which antibiotics the MRSA isolate is susceptible to. For example, if the MRSA isolate is susceptible to only trimethoprim, the text recorded for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility, text X[X(39)] would be "Trimethoprim", and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility indicator, yes/no code N would be CODE 1 (Susceptible). If the MRSA isolate is resistant to all antibiotics tested, then Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility indicator, yes/no code N would be CODE 2 (Resistant). |
