Abstract
nThe bacteria that cause everything from ordinary skin infections to serious illnesses is called Staphylococcus aureus. It is now known that Staphylococcus aureus may develop resistance to a variety of drugs. Staphylococcus aureus has been displaying an unusual kind of resistance to antibiotics, especially to those based on β-lactum. As a result, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is the new name for the resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus. The prevalence and distribution of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in different clinical samples and age groups are examined in this research. We examined samples from patients ranging in age from 0 to over 80 years, including blood, high vaginal swabs (HVS), nasal swabs, pus, skin, ear swabs, wounds, and urine, using a cross-sectional design. Staphylococcus aureus is a significant pathogen responsible for a variety of infections, ranging from minor skin conditions to life-threatening diseases. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and distribution of Staphylococcus aureus in clinical samples collected from different age groups. The study also highlighted the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 12% of the positive samples, with a notable increase in prevalence among the elderly population. These findings underscore the need for targeted infection control strategies and the importance of age-specific interventions to manage and reduce the spread of Staphylococcus aureus in healthcare settings.
