Abstract

The Staphylococcus aureus (Sau) its an aerobia bacteria of the cocos gram positive family, can cause infections in hospitalized patients and outpatients. The main reservoir it´s the human, thirty percent of the population carry this in the upper respiratory tract. This research targets to describe the nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in second course Medicine students of the Eastern Private University of Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. This research it´s a descriptive and prospective study, made between April and June of 2018. The population was composed by 69 volunteered students, 84% (n=58), 15 were male and 43 females, most of them between 20 and 35 years old. Cotton swab cultivation in agar blood was made with 58 students to look for Staphylococcus aureus, which 31% (n=18) resulted in the growth of the bacteria, the 6,6% (n=1), presented resistance to methicillin (SARM) and the 55,5% (n=10) presented resistance to Clindamycin. The percentage of Sau found in this study agree with what is described in literature. Nasal carriage can contribute to the dissemination of de infections in hospitalized patients, by direct contact. For this reason, searching and decolonizing Sau carriers in upper respiratory tract might be possible to implement.
