Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the main pathogenic microorganisms that can be found in milk, representing a serious risk to human health and at the same time being an economic problem for dairy farms around the world since it They cause diseases such as mastitis in cattle, which makes their evaluation of vital importance since it is little studied in the La Libertad region. This study aimed to know the frequency of cultures of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that were isolated from milk samples of cows with mastitis from stables in the district of Paiján. Ten cultures of Staphylococcus aureus were obtained that were isolated from milk samples of cows with mastitis. These cultures were characterized using microbiological methods such as the evaluation of colony morphology on blood agar, Gram stain, catalase activity, production. of coagulase and growth on mannitol salt agar and were kept in conservation at a temperature of -20°C in 50% glycerol. Additionally, the biochemical characterization of these S. aureus continued, performing oxidase, indole, H2S production, Voges-Proskauer and methyl red tests. As a confirmatory test for resistance to methicillin, the agar diffusion test was used using cefoxitin (30 ug) and oxacillin (1 ug) discs. Of the 10 Staphylococcus aureus isolates, two (20%) were confirmed as MRSA.
