The infections it causes generally occur in hospitalized patients, but also in healthy people, leaving severe consequences. Objective: To identify Staphylococcus aureus through microbiological tests from swabs in the hospitalization area of the Aida León de Rodríguez Lara Hospital. Methodology: The study was carried out on 50 samples taken from different surfaces in 7 hospital areas. The inclusion criterion was to consider the surfaces in more significant contact with the personnel working in the institution and with the patients, while the exclusion criterion was to consider the surfaces that are not in greater contact with the personnel working in the institution and with the patients. Results: From 50 samples taken from different hospital areas, 35 positive samples were identified as positive for Staphylococcus aureus, representing 70% of the samples by conventional microbiological techniques. Conclusion: The presence of Staphylococcus aureus was quantified by microbiological tests, and it was determined that the highest percentage of presence of this microorganism is in the isolation section of the hospitalization area; therefore, strict compliance with biosafety standards is recommended to avoid possible infections and complications in patients and staff.
