The spread of this infection is a new challenge for medical professionals due to the increased risk of morbidity and mortality that occurs. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are one of the normal flora bacteria that live on the skin, mucous membranes and mucosa, sometimes these bacteria can turn into pathogenic bacteria because they can be influenced by a variety of factors, namely host characteristics, food, and the use of antibiotics given. (Srimurtini. Mastra, & Sofi Yanty, 2. The very high prevalence rate of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Asian countries varies widely from 5% to 35% and Indonesia's 28% influences the increase in morbidity and mortality rates every year (Suyasa, 2. Community populations consisting of individuals who have not undergone any medical procedure or hospitalization in the past year may be Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. Communityassociated Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) (Prasetio & Barliana, 2. A person's lifestyle or behavior, including smoking, can contribute to the development of CA-MRSA, as acute and chronic sinusitis infections have a higher incidence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection than those who do not smoke (Bintari & Parwati, 2. Treatment for Staphylococcus aureus infections generally uses antibiotics that can inhibit the growth or kill the bacteria. This activity leads to the emergence of antibioticresistant strains of bacteria that complicate the treatment process so that the infection continues to spread. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a Staphylococcus aureus bacterium that is immune to isoxazoyl penicillin antibiotics such as methicillin, oxacillin and flucloxacillin (Suyasa, 2. Resistance to antibiotics such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus alone accounts for nearly half of all deaths caused by antibiotic-resistant organisms (Fukugana. Sumida. Taira. Davis, & Seto, 2. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a consequence of inappropriate use. Intolerance to MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureu. which has undergone genetic modification is Staphylococcus aureus. This super bacteria got its name from its resistance to various beta-lactam and penicillin antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus biochemistry and colony formation. The only difference between these bacteria is that they have resistance to several classes of antibiotics and develop at a relatively slow rate on certain (Pristianingrum. Zainiati. Muttaqin. Puspita, & Arman, 2. Based on the above background, the authors are interested in conducting a study entitled Sensitivity Test of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Bactei Against Antibiotics. Research Method I Nyoman Jirna et all : SENSITIVITY TEST OF Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus BACTERIES TO ANTIBIOTICS INTERNASIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES IN HEALTH SCIENCE VOLUME 2 . ISSN 3032-4408 (Onlin. https://ejournal. poltekkes-denpasar. id/index. php/icmahs This type of research is descriptive research with laboratory examination, aims to determine the sensitivity of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with various types of anitbiotics such as gentamicin antibiotics, ciprofloxacin antibiotics, cefixime antibiotics, vancomycin antibiotics and chloramphenicol A total of 20 samples were obtained from 2 Petri dishes of MRSA isolates and 5 types of antibiotics and were repeated 2 times. This research was conducted UPTD. Balai Laboratorium Kesehatan Kerthi Bali Sadhajiwa Bali Province in May 2024. The examination method is agar plate diffusion method to confirm the sensitivity of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics, through Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacterial culture on Muller Hinton Agar media. After that, incubation was carried out in an incubator at 35 A C A 1 A C for 18 A 2 hours. The results of the sensitivity test were then measured using a The measurement results were matched with the European Committee on Antimicronial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) standard, namely sensitive (S) > 17 mm and resistant (R) O17 mm.

Based on table 1 of the research results, it shows that ciprofloxacin antibiotics gentamicin antibiotics, and vancomycin antibiotics are feasible to use as antibiotics to treat infections caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococus While in Methicillin- resistant Staphylococus aureus to chloramphenicol antibiotics and cefixme antibiotics are not feasible to use as antibiotics to treat infections caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococus Inappropriate use of antibiotics and the low level of public knowledge regarding the use of antibiotics cause bacterial resistance to antibiotics (Nufus & Pertiwi, 2. Bacterial resistance to these antibiotics can be very fatal, infectious diseases caused by treatmentresistant bacteria increase a person's illness and When treatment is slow or even fails, the patient can become a bacterial host . This is what makes antibiotic resistance possible in many people. Therefore, it is necessary to use antibiotics rationally, which is based on recommendations to prevent antibiotic resistance to bacteria. The use of antibiotics is very necessary to be done wisely so that the rate of recovery increases rapidly and reduces the length of hospitalization, financing, transmission to others, the number of sick, and of course prevents resistance (Dinkes Kalimantan Barat, 2. Antibiotics inhibit the growth zone of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Conclusion Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria exhibited sensitivity to several antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and vancomycin. Specifically, when treated with ciprofloxacin at a dose of 5 mcg, the bacteria showed an inhibition zone of 23. mm, indicating strong antibacterial activity. this case the antibiotics chosen are gentamicin antibiotics, ciprofloxacin antibiotics, cefixime chloramphenicol antibiotics. Where the mechanism of action is to inhibit protein synthesis and inhibit cell wall synthesis. This research is in line with the research of Oka Suyasa et al, where Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is resistant to resistant chloramphenicol antibiotics, cefixme and for gentamicin has intermediates. The similarity in this study lies in the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria to the same chloramphenicol and cefixme antibiotics that are not sensitive. Meanwhile. Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus bacteria against gentamicin antibiotics in this study are still There are 3 antibiotics that are still sensitive in this study, namely vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin (Suyasa, 2. The difference in results obtained in other studies is very likely due to the limited number of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacterial sample culture media obtained in this In addition, the source of samples is different where this study took ready-made samples or bacterial cultures that had been cultured while other studies came from health workers and patients (Martiyaningsih & Farida. The characteristics of different antibiotic content affect the inhibition results (Nurani. Soleha, & Ramadhian, 2. Gentamicin, at a concentration of 10 mcg, produced an inhibition zone of 21. 3 mm, while vancomycin, at a concentration of 30 mcg, resulted in an inhibition zone of 18. 5 mm, demonstrating their effectiveness against MRSA. MRSA bacteria were found to be resistant to cefixime at a concentration of 5 mcg and chloramphenicol at a concentration of 30 mcg. For both of these antibiotics, no inhibition zone I Nyoman Jirna et all : SENSITIVITY TEST OF Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus BACTERIES TO ANTIBIOTICS INTERNASIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES IN HEALTH SCIENCE VOLUME 2 .

This resistance highlights the challenge of treating MRSA infections with certain antibiotics and underscores the need for alternative or combination therapies.
