Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteria Identification And Sensitivity Test To Amoxicillin Antibiotics On Nurses' Hands In Mangusada Hospital
Abstract
Background: HAIs (Healthcare-Associated Infections), also called nosocomial infections, occur in connection with health services in hospitals. Nosocomial infections can be transmitted or acquired through health workers, sick people, visitors with career status, or because of hospital conditions. One of the treatments for nosocomial infections is the administration of antibiotics. Treatment for uncomplicated nosocomial infections is penicillin; antibiotics belonging to the penicillin group are Amoxicillin. This research aims to identify and determine the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria to amoxicillin antibiotics isolated from a nurse's hand swab sample in the janger room of Mangusada Badung Hospital. This study used a descriptive method and used 20 samples with a purposive sampling technique. Hand swabs were isolated on MSA media and then identified by gram staining, catalase, and coagulase tests. The identification results showed that 10 (55.56%) of 20 samples were Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with the characteristics of coccus, gram-positive, catalase test, and coagulation test positive. This study concluded that the sensitivity test showed that all isolates of Staphylococcus aureus isolates were resistant to Amoxicillin. Results based on this study show that Amoxicillin is not practical in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and is not an appropriate choice for treating nosocomial infections.
