MRSA infections not only associated with high mortality and morbidity rate , but also with high cost of health care due to the lenght of stay in the hospital and additional treatment costs.

Stethoscopes are one of the most commonly used medical devices and have been reported to be potential sources of MRSA infection. This study was undertaken to identify MRSA on diaphragm of stethoscopes in inpatient room and HCU, which had a most cases of MRSA infection in RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. This descriptive study using total sampling technique, 74 stethoscopes were collected from Internal Medicine Division. Swab sample was taken from the surface of diaphragm of the stethoscopes for cefoxitin disk testing to detect MRSA. Results show that 22 stethoscopes (64,7%) in inpatient room positive for MRSA and 8 stethoscopes (72,7%) in HCU positive for MRSA. The percentage of positive stethoscope of MRSA is higher in HCU than inpatient room.
