Background and Purpose: Data on the carriage rate and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of
Staphylococcus aureus strains prevalent in the community are not available for many
developing countries including Libya. To estimate the extent of community S. aureus
Objective: Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) is a harmless commensal flora of
human body but may cause infections related to medical device implant, blood stream
infections, and infections of newborns. Health care workers (HCWs) colonizing methicillin-
Objective: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ranks top among the
nosocomial pathogens. Nasal formulation of mupirocin is found to eradicate MRSA from
colonized individuals, but the emergence of resistant strains is a matter of concern. Methods:

Abstract Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have been identified as a major cause
of nosocomial infections. Nasal carriage of CoNS in nurses and physicians is known to be
an important risk factor for potential hospital infections. This study was carried out to

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of healthcare-
associated infections, where healthcare workers (HCWs) are vectors of transmission. In
addition to exposure to healthcare workers who may be as carriers, exposure to
The resistance to antimicrobial agents among staphylococci is an increasing problem. This
has led to renewed interest in the usage of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB)
antibiotics to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections. In vitro routine tests for clindamycin
Methodology: Nasal swabs were taken from health care workers (HCWs) and in-patients and
these were processed for the recovery of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to various
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a ubiquitous bacterium which commonly
colonizes the human body and is an important nosocomial and community acquired
pathogen. Increasing reports of antibiotic resistance to various drugs and occurrence of
