Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in fish stalls and in hands and nasal and oral cavities of fish handlers of the Mucuripe Fish Market, Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. All S. aureus isolates were resistant to Ampicillin and 44 % were multi-drug resistant.
