Staphylococcus aureus has been recognized as one of the microorganisms with antimicrobial resis-tance and even greater impact on community-acquired infections. Objective: This study aims to establish the prevalence and susceptibility profile ofStaphylococcus aureus isolates from different communities in the city of Bogota,Colombia. Materials and Methods: 150 samples from 5 different communities were obtained by nasal swabs and processed for identification of S. aureus and its susceptibilityprofile. Results: From medical students, housewives, people in customer service, food handlers and dri-vers of public service, we isolated 43 (28,7%) strains of S. aureus, 25 from women (58%) and 18 from men (42%): 88.4% (38) were typed as methicillin susceptible (MSSA) and 11.6% (5) as methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Resistance was found to clindamycin (31,6% for MSSA, 60% for MRSA);tolinezolid (50%inMSSA,80%forMRSA) andtrimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (18.9% for MSSA, 60% forMRSA). Conclusion: Low MSSA strains (25.3%) and MRSA (3.3%) in the communities evaluated, in contrast to studies in health care workers (30% prevalence for MRSA).
