Antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus is increasing worldwide. New antibiotics are used in big amounts in the meat production more and more. As a zoonosis, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is found in various species of animals and people, especially in those, who are working on commercial swine farms and slaughterhouses. The aim of the study was to find out the occurrence of S. aureus in different age groups of pigs on commercial swine farms in Latvia. Microbiological samples (n=702) including nasal, rectal, milk and air samples were collected during October 2013 from three closed farms of different sizes and several age groups of pigs and investigated with microbiological standard methods. S. aureus was found in all swine farms. The occurrence of S. aureus in Latvian pig farms was 41% and the highest occurrence of S. aureus was among 3-3.5 month old piglets. S. aureus was 1.8 times more frequently found in nasal than in rectal samples, and only in 28.38% of pigs S. aureus was in both - nasal and rectal samples. S. aureus was found also in sow milk in 13% of samples and in 3 samples of air (n=23).
