The standard method for MRSA screening (and one still used for comparisons) is culture of screening swabs on agar. Presumptive S. aureus colonies are identified by standard microbiological tests, and then tested for methicillin resistance by disk diffusion, the whole process taking at least 2 days and usually 3–5 days.
