    The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between biofilm formation and oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood cultures at the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital. The sample consisted of 71 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from blood cultures. The study was quantitative, observational, and correlational. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22 and WHONET 5.6, employing the Chi-square test for variable association. The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus resistance to oxacillin was determined using the clinical laboratory standard (CLSI) cutoff values, finding a 63.4% resistance rate. The tissue culture plate method (PCT) was used for biofilm determination, with 55 strains (77.5%) exhibiting biofilm formation capacity, while 16 strains (22.5%) were non-biofilm producers. Biofilm-producing strains were categorized as strong (49.3%), moderate (18.3%), and weak (9.9%), while 22.5% did not exhibit biofilm formation. The study concluded that no significant relationship exists between oxacillin resistance and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from blood cultures of hospitalized patients at the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital (July 2016 - June 2018).
