Antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Coding note

These categories should never be used in primary coding. The codes are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes when it is desired to identify the resistance, non-responsiveness and refractive properties of a condition to antimicrobials. In case of multiple resistances, code each one separately if listed below.
