Samples were analysed for\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n using culture, Gram staining, biochemical tests and Kirby\u2013Bauer antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Data were analysed using STATA 16 with descriptive statistics at\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0<\u00a00.05.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Result<\/jats:title>\n \n From a total of 301 samples were collected from fish, hands and knives at unloading sites, with\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n found in 26% of the samples. Of the 201 fish samples, 13% of unfilleted and 39% of filleted fish tested positive. A questionnaire survey revealed that all respondents handled fish with bare hands. Antibiotic testing showed that\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n was susceptible to ciprofloxacin (100%) and chloramphenicol (92%) but highly resistant to erythromycin (55%), tetracycline (72%) and penicillin G (87%). Additionally, 57% of isolates were multidrug\u2010resistant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Over one\u2010fourth of samples were contaminated with\n S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n , mainly due to poor hygiene and bare\u2010hand handling, with high resistance to penicillin and tetracycline observed. Strengthened hygiene practices, routine resistance monitoring and continuous food safety training are recommended.\n <\/jats:p>\n
