Abstract

Background: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major public health concern, particularly in healthcare settings. MRSA colonization and infection can lead the significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted between september2023 to November 2023 among healthcare workers in tertiary care hospital to determine MRSA nasal carriage rate. Nasal swabs were collected from health care workers and cultured on Blood agar and MacConkey agar plate Staphylococcus aureus was identified based on colony morphology, Gram stain, Catalase, Coagulase DNase test results. Results: Four of the 50 screened healthcare workers (6%) were found to have nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus Conclusion: Prevalence of Methicillin -Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers is significant concern in tertiary care Hospitals highlighting the potential risk of transmission to patients and other health care personnel.
