The invention provides a method for identifying methicillin resistant(MRSA) in a bacterial sample comprising the steps: classifying bacteria in the sample as(SA) and determining the presence or absence of the phenol soluble modulin peptide or a variant thereof wherein the presence of the PSM-mec peptide or variant thereof indicates methicillin resistant. The variant is preferably the formylated version of the PSM-mec peptide having a mass to charge ratio of 2415 in a singly protonated state.
