Recently, reports have emerged that S. aureus strains which is resistant to methicillin not only from the patients and community, but also from healthcare worker (especially medical student).

The samples were collected from nasal swabs of medical student who were alumnus from High School at Surabaya. To identifies colonization of S. aureus, are by identified hemolytic capability (by culturing in Blood-agar Plate), the morfology (by Gram stainning), and biochemical testing (catalase and coagulase tets). After that, doing Antimicrobal susceptibility tests by using Oxacillin and Cefoxitin disk.according to guideline recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The Prevalence of MRSA from nasal swabs were 60 (83,3%) isolates Non S. aureus (26 isolates from men and 34 isolates from women) and 12 isolates S. aureus. 3 (4,2%) isolates of 12 was MRSA and none of them is woman.
