--- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a gram positive multiresistant bacteria, considered to be a critical pathogen in human medicine. It is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections (HA-MRSA). It has also emerged as a cause of illnesses in the community (CA-MRSA). The majority of strains of MRSA are resistant to a wide range of antibacterial agents. In recent years, new strains of MRSA have appeared in the animal kingdom, causing infections in humans; pig rearing has been identified as a risk factor in the increase in carriers of Staphylococcus aureus in the nose. Earlier studies in Europe show that MRSA is present on 81% and 23% of pig farms. This study seeks to determine the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in industrial pig farms in the department of Lima. Six industrial pig farms were selected at random for this study; and 20 pigs were from each one. Nasal swabs were taken from both nostrils of animals from each group and the samples were isolated in selective media before being subject to biochemical and selective tests to detect resistance to methicillin. The latex agglutination test confirmed 3 isolates as MRSA. The results of this study show a presence of 17% in industrial pig farms; thus the persistence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in industrial pig farms in the department of Lima has been confirmed. Key Words: Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, resistant bacteria, beta-lactamic agents
