This research was aimed at identifying Staphylococcus aureus isolated from jollof rice samples at selected cafeterias in Federal University Dutse campus. A total of fifteen (15) samples were collected and processed within an hour in sterile containers from five (5) different cafeterias (A, B, C, D and E). The total aerobic bacterial counts recorded from samples A, B, C, D and E were 1.6 x 105, 1.1 x 105, 1.1 x 107, 9.3 x 104, 1.3 x107 cfu/g respectively while total Staphylococcal counts recorded from samples A, B, C, D and E were 1.3 x 104, 6.5 x 103, 6.0 x 105, 4.0 x 103, 1.5 x108 cfu/g respectively. Based on staphylococcal counts recorded, sample A result is unacceptable while samples B and D are within tolerable microbiological quality while that of samples C and E are also of poor quality. Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the samples was higher in samples C and E than in samples A, B and D. The isolate was susceptible to Ofloxacin and Gentamicin based on susceptibility tests conducted. Closer supervision of food handlers preparing and serving the food, most be carried out routinely by relevant authorities within the campus with a view to preventing possible outbreak of food borne illness caused by S. aureus.
