Species identification of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) isolates in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC)

Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) are common colonizers of the human skin but has become increasingly recognized as agents of clinically significant infections. At the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC), the prevalence of CoNS among staphylococcus genus in 2009 was 47.1%....
