How can one accurately test to see if mrsa is completely gone after taking meds, oinment, etc? the wound is healed but what is required? blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No test : When the wound is healed, the infection is definitely gone. MRSA can be on our skin without causing infection. To detect MRSA living on your skin, colonization, you can have a swab culture done.
