Antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated mainly from preterm neonates.

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most common isolates from blood culture in neonates resulting in high mortality and morbidity. This study investigated CoNS obtained from blood cultures of neonates for antibiotic resistance and virulence factors, and possible association with inflamma...
