Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are significant public health concerns globally due to their high prevalence and increasing antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to assess the carriage rate of S. aureus and its antimicrobial resistance profile in Ethiopia. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Hinari, SCOPUS, and EMBASE, for articles published between 2013 and 2024. From 159 potential studies, 19 observational studies reporting S. aureus carriage rates and/or antimicrobial susceptibility in Ethiopia were included in the final analysis. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist was used to assess the quality of the studies. The data synthesis and reporting were conducted in accordance with the PRISMA checklist guidelines. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to pool the estimates.

Publication bias was evaluated subjectively with a funnel plot and Egger’s regression test, with p
