Abstract

Food poisoning due to Staphylococcus aureus is known as staphyloenterotoxicosis or staphyloenterotoxemia and occurs as a result of ingestion of foods containing preformed toxins that contain these microorganisms. The general objective of this study was to identify nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus in medical students attending the María Serrana Private University from March to May 2018. The design of the research was characterized by an observational, descriptive study of a retrospective nature. The students of the medical career of this university counted as subjects of study. We analyzed 100 samples obtained from nasal swaps, of which 58% were positive and 42% negative as nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus, of the positive cases n= 58, corresponded to the female sex 47% (27 students) and men 53% (31 students). According to the study, it was verified that the number of symptomatic women was 63% and asymptomatic 37%, while the number of men was 30% symptomatic and 70% asymptomatic.
