Abstract

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), such as Staphylococcus capitis , are major causes of bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Recently, a distinct clone of S. capitis (designated S. capitis NRCS-A) has emerged as an important pathogen in NICUs internationally.
