Introduction: Staphylococci are the ordinary occupants of human skin and mucous layers. Staphylococci assume a job in bacteremia, endocarditis, urinary tract contamination, careful site diseases, etc. Methicillin–safe Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is common worldwide and is a critical reason for UTI, inging about an expanded dreariness and mortality in the healing facility settings around the world. Objective: To know the commonness of MRSA among genital tract of ladies and to direct in limiting the spread of foundational or profound MRSA diseases in high–chance patients, for example, those in the pregnant ladies. Materials and Methods: This investigation was done in the Medical Research Laboratory, IMS and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar. Upper sent for culture affectability examination were gathered over a time of one year from June 2017 to May 2018. Staphylococcus was distinguished utilizing standard strategies. At that point, methicillin–safe strains were distinguished by utilizing screening and corroborative systems suggested by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Information were gathered, and the commonness was assessed. Result: We gathered an aggregate of 5,046 examples, and Staphylococcus were recognized from 232 examples. Of the 232 examples containing S. aureus recuperated from the distinctive clinical examples, 20.25% (47) of them were observed to be methicillin safe. Conclusion: The genital tract diseases confront steady and evermore issues, on account of MRSA. Limiting the development of this living being and its spread stay to be the difficulties that should be tended to. An ordinary reconnaissance of female genital tract contaminations is required.
