Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of colonization by Staphylococcus aureus in saliva and nasal secretion of nursing professionals who provide care to people with HIV/AIDS and identify measures of association between colonized and non-colonized professionals with demographic and professional variables.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with nursing professionals from five health centers. Samples of saliva and nasal secretions were obtained in three stages.
Results: The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus was 43.0%. Storing the toothbrush in a closed/protected compartment was a risk factor for colonization. Knowledge of standard precautions and participation in training were a protective factor for non-colonization.
Conclusion: The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in saliva and nasal secretions of the nursing staff was high. The adoption of standard precautions measures and control of pathogens are essential for the practice of nursing and patient safety.

Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de colonização por Staphylococcus aureus na saliva e secreção nasal de profissionais de enfermagem que cuidam de pessoas com HIV/aids e identificar medidas de associação entre os colonizados e não colonizados com as variáveis demográficas e profissionais.
Métodos: Estudo transversal com profissionais de enfermagem de cinco unidades. Amostras de saliva e secreção nasal foram obtidas em três momentos.
Resultados: A prevalência de Staphylococcus aureus foi de 43,0%. Armazenamento da escova dental em compartimento fechado foi fator de risco para a colonização. Conhecimento sobre as precauções-padrão e participação em treinamento apresentaram-se como um fator de proteção para a não colonização.
Conclusão: A prevalência de Staphylococus aureus na saliva e secreção nasal da equipe de enfermagem foi elevada. A adoção de medidas de prevenção e controle de microrganismos patogênicos são essenciais para a prática da enfermagem e segurança do paciente.
