Nosocomial Spread of a <i>Staphylococcus hominis</i> subsp. <i>novobiosepticus</i> Strain Causing Sepsis in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
From 2002 to 2003, 32 isolates of Staphylococcus hominis subsp. novobiosepticus (SHN) were recovered from 21 patients, 18 of whom were neonates, with 13 considered to have late-onset SHN sepsis.
