"Antibiogram of Methicillin Resistance Coagulase Negative Staphylococci from Nasal Carriage of Healthcare Workers in a Tertiary Care Hospital"

Abstract

Introduction:The commensal microflora like coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) is recently considered as emerging pathogen which are crucial for causing nosocomial, so studies on the distribution and pattern of antibiotic resistance along with its virulence properties for health care workers (HCWs) are important as they can be responsible for transmission of multi drug resistant bacteria to community .The aim of our study was to determine the rate of nasal carriage of methicillin resistance coagulase negative Staphylococci (MRCoNS) among HCWs in
