9. Diagnosis

MRSA is to be taken very seriously and anybody suspected of being infected is likely to be moved to isolation straight away. If it is suspected then it will be necessary to get a confirmation of the diagnosis, and this is achieved with help from nasal fluids and/or tissue samples. These samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

It can take around 2 days for the result to come back, and the patient may well need to remain in isolation until the tests are confirmed. Faster methods are in development, however, and gradually becoming more readily accessible to medical staff.
