The preparation and sale of street food constitutes a socio-cultural and economic fact in all countries of the world. However, the hygienic failures observed during this activity constitute a source of contamination of these foods. The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) noted at the beginning of the 1960s is now experiencing rapid spread across the world. The objective of this study was to determine the phenotypic resistance characteristics of strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from three types of food sold on public roads in the city of N'Djamena in Chad. A total of 115 food samples were collected in the city of N’Djamena between April 2015 and May 2017. The research and characterization of Staphylococcus aureus were carried out following ISO standardized methods. The overall prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus was 62.49%. The evaluation of the antibiogram showed that all Staphylococcus aureus isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Rifampicin, Ofloxacin, Teicoplanin and Fosfomycin. The isolates showed the highest resistance to Penicillin G (100%), Oxacillin (100%) and Erythromycin (60%). This resistance is the consequence of inadequate prescriptions and especially self-medication. The use of antibiotics on Chadian territory must be subject to strict control.
