Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus are Gram positive cocci with ubiquitous presence in humans as a constituent of the normal flora of the skin and mucous membranes of most mammals, and can infect various sites of the body when conditions are favorable. Objective: Determine the prevalence of nasal carriers of S. aureus among Xerente ethnic group and determine the sensitivity profile for antimicrobials. Methods: 122 samples of nasal cavity were examined. The isolation and identification were carried by conventional methods such as microbial catalase test, coagulase, mannitol fermentation test and deoxyribonuclease. The antibiograms were performed by diffusion technique in agar according to the standard procedure by the National Commitee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Results: A total of 122 indigenous people were examined and 15 were colonized with S. aureus, which showed a prevalence of 12.3%. Conclusions: Multidrug-resistant strains were not isolated. All studied samples showed good sensitivity for most of the tested antibiotics except for Nalidixic Acid, which the strains demonstrated 100% of resistance.
