Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic species in the genus, having been linked to nosocomial infections as well as community-acquired infections. In healthy people, it frequently colonises the skin and mucous membranes asymptomatically, especially the anterior nares. These days, community-acquired MRSA is a significant issue. The goal of the current investigation was to determine MRSA's detrimental consequences in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Fifty samples were gathered from Abasyn University students in Peshawar for this purpose. The samples were taken using sterile nasal swabs, and they were inoculated on nutritional agar medium within eight hours. Catalase and coagulase tests revealed the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Thirty of the fifty samples tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus. The following antibiotics were used: vincomycin, oxyacillin, augmentin, ampicillin, and foxittin. MRSA prevalence was 76.66%.
