Molecular Characterizations of the Coagulase-Negative <i>Staphylococci</i> Species Causing Urinary Tract Infection in Tanzania: A Laboratory-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Molecular Characterizations of the Coagulase-Negative <i>Staphylococci</i> Species Causing Urinary Tract Infection in Tanzania: A Laboratory-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Background: There is a growing body of evidence on the potential involvement of coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) in causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim of this study was to delineate virulence potential, antimicrobial resistance genes, and sequence types of CoNS isolated from pat...
