: Infection due to S.aureus imposes a high burden on health care resources. A growing concern is the emergence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Methicillin resistance is a complex property, and more than one mechanism is involved. The prevalence in India has increased from 12% in 1992 to 80.83% in 1999. The early and accurate determination of Methicillin resistance is of key importance in the treatment of infections caused by Methicillin resistant S.aureus. Various methods are available for MRSA detection namely Cefoxitin disc diffusion, Chromogenic agar, Latex agglutination and Oxacillin E-test. Latex agglutination is a rapid agglutination assay detecting PBP2’ (also called as PBP2a) in isolates of Staphylococcus, as an aid in identifying Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The purpose of present study is to study latex agglutination assay for the detection of MRSA.
