Abstract
Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus have been reported worldwide to emerge mostly in developing and developed countries. This study aimed at isolated and antibiotic resistance from nosocomial sources in Dalhatu Araf specialist Hospital, Lafia, Nigeria. A total of (200) samples were collected from February 2021 to May 2021 from different Nosocomial sources such as door handles, seat handles, surgical equipment and stretchers and Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and identified using standard microbiological method. The Antibiotic susceptibility test for the isolates were carried out and interpreted in accordance with Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) protocol. The occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus from the samples was 50 (25%). The highest occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus is from seat handle swab with (32%) and the lowest occurrence is (18%) from surgical equipments. The Antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus showed that the isolates were more resistant to oxacillin.
