The objective of the research is to identify the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in hospital ants and describe its resistance profile relative to oxacillin. Methods: This is an analytical cross with temporality. The research scenario consisted of a charity hospital and later the microbiology laboratory of the Faculty President Antonio Carlos. The sample consists of five ants explored each sector, namely ICU and Surgical Center, totaling 10 ants. Results: Of the total samples, 7 (70%) ants grew Staphylococcus aureus and 3 (30%) did not. Of the samples collected in each sector 3 (60%) in the ICC, and 4 (80%), surgical center, showed growth of Staphylococcus aureus. These strains of S. aureus found 100% sensitivity showed a profile of oxacillin-resistant. Conclusion: It is concluded from the results obtained in the present study that ants allocated in hospitals may carry Staphylococcus aureus. As well as this bacterial species can exhibit antibiotic resistance, as shown Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin resistant.
