MRSA Detection By Genetic Testing

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 87641

A laboratory test that looks directly for the genetic material of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of staph bacteria that resists many common antibiotics, using a technique that amplifies tiny amounts of its genetic material to detect it quickly. It is typically run on a swab from the nose, skin, or a wound. This method gives faster, more sensitive results than waiting for bacteria to grow in a traditional culture.
