Multilocus sequence type analysis of coagulase-negative staphylococci from the neonatal intensive care unit of a teaching hospital in Ghana
our findings highlight the presence of multidrug-resistant and novel CoNS MLST types in the NICU, suggesting an urgent need for a nationwide database on CoNS MLST types circulating in Ghana. Such data would be critical for developing informed public health policies and strategies to manage neonatal sepsis in the Region.
