How do you test for MRSA in kidneys?

To test for MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in the kidneys, healthcare providers typically obtain a urine sample or perform a kidney biopsy. The urine sample can be cultured to detect the presence of MRSA, while a biopsy allows for direct examination of kidney tissue. Additionally, blood tests may be conducted to identify systemic infections. Testing protocols may vary based on clinical guidelines and the patient's condition.
