    To determine the prevalence of nasal colonization of S Staphylococcus aureus, its antimicrobial sensitivity profile, methicillin-resistance in strains isolated and the relation between carrier state, immunological status and use of antimicrobials in a group of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Medellin 151 nasal samples were obtained from ambulatory patients with HIV. Antimicrobial sensitivity profile of S. aureus isolates were evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer method. In addition, we also determined minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for oxacillin and vancomycin. Presence of the mecA gene in methicillin resistant S. aureus isolates (MRSA) was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction. Results: The prevalence of S. aureus nasal colonization was 37.74%. The colonization for MRSA was 1.98%, while S. aureus meticiline sensitive isolates were detected in 35.76% of the patients.   In the MRSA isolates we observed the following antibiotic sensitivity profile: erythromycin 66.6%, clindamycin 100%, gentamycin 100%, tetracyclin 66.6%, and vancomycin 100%. We confirmed the presence of mecA gene in all MRSA isaolates.   We determined the prevalence of nasal colonization for S. aureus in the studied population. No statistically significant relation was observed among the state of the carrier, the immunological status, antimicrobial therapy, hospitalization period or gender in the studied population. We correlated the microbiological findings with the presence of the mecA gene. Neither vancomycin resistance nor diminished susceptibility to glycopeptides isolates to were detected.
