    Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of becoming a difficult-to-manage pathogen and is one of the leading causes of infections in both community and hospital settings. Over time, various bacteria have developed mechanisms of resistance to multiple antimicrobials, complicating therapeutic management. Antimicrobial resistance is attributed, among other causes, to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, poor management by health professionals, uncontrolled sales of drugs, and self-medication, which increases the likelihood that microorganisms will mutate and/or acquire resistance genes, extending the duration of illness and increasing the risk of death. The study aimed to determine the personal and labor-related factors of asymptomatic students and their association with the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The study involved 50 students from the Norbert Wiener University, and of the Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 6 students, none were identified as MRSA.
