  bacteria is one of the famous widely distributed in the world and source of 
  multiple diseases like cellulites and endocardities in all age groups. In the 
  present study, fifty samples were taken as nasal swabs at time of admission 
  to the hospital. About 44% were positive for <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> (MRSA) 
  and 0% were Methicillin-Sensitive <I>Staphylococcus aureus</I> (MSSA). MRSA 
  colonization in males was 10% while in females were 12% which indicate that 
  nasal colonization of MRSA in females is higher than males. MRSA nasal colonization 
  among patients within 0-15 years old was 2%, patients within 16-30 years old 
  was 6%, patients within 31-45 years old was 11%, patients within 46-60 years 
  old was 2% and patients &gt;70 years old was 1%. Sensitivity of the all <I>staphylococcus 
  aureus</I> isolated samples to different antibiotics was studied using kanamycin, 
  erythromycin, methicillin and vancomycin. It was found that all of the <I>S. 
  aureus</I> strains were resistant to methicillin antibiotic (100%) and the rate 
  of sensitivity to other drugs was72% for kanamycin, 9% for erythromycin and 
  22% for vancomycin. This study confirm that kanamycin is a drug of choice so 
  far for treatment of MRSA although, there is slight resistance.}
