Guide for use: | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that can survive treatment with the antibiotics normally used to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections. Required for MRSA isolates only, where the Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to methicillin. Must be used in conjunction with the data element Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility indicator, yes/no code N to indicate the overall result of testing. For example, if the MRSA isolate is susceptible to trimethoprim, the text recorded for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility, text [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 tested against all antibiotics and shown to be resistant, then Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate—antibiotic susceptibility indicator, yes/no code N would be CODE 2 (Resistant) and this element is not recorded. |
