The prevalence was studied based on the age, gender, type of clinical samples and the sensitivity patterns of the MRSA. Methods: Cross-sectional study was used to proceed this study. Total of 408 cases of Staphylococcus aureus were collected for the analysis of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The cases were randomly taken within the study duration with at least 50 cases must be taken to control the significance of the research. Age, gender, types of clinical samples and sensitivity patterns information were all collected from the patient’s request forms and sensitivity forms that belongs to the Department of Microbiology at Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar Seremban (HTJS). Results: Out of 408 cases, 219 cases have turned out to be MRSA. Patients with age range between 51 to 65 years have the highest percentage of being infected by MRSA with 29.2%. With 73.8%, male have higher percentage of becoming the victim of MRSA than female. Of all the various clinical samples collected, pus and wound swab tend to be the most site of infection of MRSA. From 9 antimicrobial disks used to test the sensitivity of MRSA, only vancomycin has the 100% sensitive to MRSA. 2014-09 Student Project NonPeerReviewed text en https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/104391/1/104391.PDF The prevalence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar Seremban (HTJS) / Nurul Shahida Sukri.
