Antibiotic susceptibility test performed by using the disc diffusion method, Kirby Bauer. History of antibiotic use in the community is obtained by using a questionnaire. The results of this activity show that S.aureus bacteria found in the community are still sensitive to cefoxitin, Staphylococcus aureus proportion was 9.33% of nasal smear and 34.66% of throat smear.
