We proceeded to the evaluation of the reability of reading and interpretation of cultures on the chromogenic medium MRSA ID for the detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, within a surveillance program. Our observations demonstrate such method results a useful instrument of screening for the prevention and the control of the spread of the infections by MRSA
