Staph Screen Check (SSC) Available at Environmental Diagnostic Laboratory (EDLab)

S. aureus is common and infection usually only causes pimples or boils, although infections can spread to surrounding tissue. These bacteria can be carried by healthy people, living on their skin or in their noses.

Dr Rajiv Sahay, Director of lab services at EDLab stated: "In recent years, these newly emerged resistant bacteria stains have become more common in hospitals and it has been spreading through ineffective housekeeping, prisons, school gyms, locker rooms, in poor urban neighborhoods and other indoor environments."

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is treatable only with a few antibiotics. Recently there has been an alarming epidemic caused by community-associated (CA)-MRSA strains, which can cause severe infections that can result in necrotizing fasciitis (the "flesh-eating disease") or even death in otherwise healthy adults outside of healthcare settings

MRSA is common in hospitals, where it can kill weakened patients.  In the United States, CA-MRSA is now the cause of the majority of infections that result in trips to the emergency room.  In October researchers reported that MRSA was far more common than had been known, with 94,000 hospitalizations and almost 19,000 deaths in 2005 in the United States.

Recommended SSC samples locations vary from water fountains handles, shower stalls, door knobs, counter tops, furnishings, etc…The SSC is an environmental sample for the identification of Staphylococcus sp. in the indoor environment. For clinical analysis visit your physician.
