Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from healthy students and their drug resistance was investigated. S. aureus was isolated from 17 of 70 persons (24.3%). Fourteen strains of 22 isolates of S. aureus were ampicillin-resistant. Two strains each were cefmetazole-resistant and gentamicin-resistant. None of the strains was found to be methicillin-resistant. Compared with the strains isolated from the hospital ward environment, S. aureus in healthy individuals was relatively sensitive to antibiotics.
