Objective: To analyze nasal colonization by Staphylococcus sp. its resistance to methicillin, and associated factors in inpatients. Methods: Nasal sample collection, antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and analysis of medical records of inpatients (n=71) were performed, and a questionnaire was applied. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the chi-square, Student's t, and Mann-Whitney tests (alpha=5%). Results: Nearly half (44.4%) of the patients who were significantly associated with prolonged antibiotic treatment (p=0.02) was infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus sp.. A significant association was observed between patients with sensitive strains and absence of antibiotic treatment prior to sample collection (p=0.02) or absence of wounds (p=0.003). Conclusion: Strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus sp. were found, and there was no significant difference between the S. aureus species and the coagulase-negative Staphylococci groups, which indicates the degree of spread of methicillin resistance among different species of Staphylococcus.
