Abstract

Read online

Staphylococcus capitis is a common causative agent of bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units, with multidrug resistant isolates complicating treatment. Authors aimed to establish a core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme to document the transmission and dissemination of multidrug-resistant S. capitis isolates.
