In order to assess the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus strains to antibacterial drugs, bacteriological studies conducted in February 2025 on clinical samples were analyzed in the bacteriology laboratory of the Republican Scientific Center for Emergency Medical Care. From 1694 samples from various therapeutic departments, 892 genera of the family Staphylococcus spp were identified. S. aureus 465 isolates were identified from various clinical samples, throat smears (64.90%), urine (17.50%), venous blood (3.10%), sputum (4.12%) and other samples (1.03%). Isolation and identification of isolates include standard biochemical tests such as colony morphology, Gram staining, catalase reaction, and coagulase test, as well as analysis of isolates for antimicrobial sensitivity.
