The method was used in this research is descriptive observational. The research consisted of two stages, namely isolation and biochemical identification. The isolation stage resulted 10 culturable bacterial isolates. All bacteria were able to ferment mannitol on Mannitol Salt Then, the biochemical test identification resulted that all isolates had a positive catalase test, a positive slide coagulase test, Gram-positive, and staphylococci cell. The TSIA test resulted A/A or (acid)/(acid) which indicated that all isolates were able to use diverse carbon sources from sucrose, lactose, glucose. Moreover, other test as sulfur, indole and motility tests were negative. Therefore, all isolates in this study are classified as S. aureus. This research is also a promotive and preventive effort for the campus in implementing hygiene and sanitation for food handlers in the cafetaria.

Analysis technique used Chi- Square. From the results of the study, the variables that significantly influenced the incidence of DHF were education (p-value = 0.012), occupation (p-value = 1.000), income (p-value = 0.029), frequency of draining containers (p-value = 0.008), habit of hanging clothes (p-value = 0.031), home environment conditions (p-value = 0.005). While the variables that did not affect the incidence of DHF were the availability of lids on containers (p-value = 1.000), and the presence of larvae in containers (p-value = 0.127). This study concluded that education, income, frequency of container draining, habit of hanging clothes and home environmental conditions had a significant influence on the incidence of DHF and there was no influence between occupation, availability of container lids and the presence of larvae in containers.
