1st report on the molecular epidemiology of Malaysian coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS): experience in a university hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

摘要

Background: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are a major cause of sepsis in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) worldwide. We determined the molecular epidemiology of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from the NICU of our university hospital, UKM Medical Centre (UKMMC).
