Staph Aureus Genetic Detection Test

Missouri rates for HCPCS 87640

This laboratory test detects genetic material from a common bacterium that can cause skin infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections, using a technique that amplifies tiny amounts of its genetic material to make it detectable. It is faster than growing the organism in a culture and is often used to quickly identify this particular bacterium in a sample. It does not, by itself, indicate whether the bacterium is resistant to common antibiotics.
