MRSA Quilt

By  Anna Dumitriu 2011

Anna Dumitriu

"The MRSA Quilt" tells the story of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) research and diagnosis through a textile work stained with MRSA bacteria (grown on chromogenic agar) as it undergoes a number of commonly used tests. The final work has been autoclaved and made safe. Made in collaboration with Dr John Paul, Dr James Price and Rosie Sedgwick.
