Unlabelled: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) comprise about 50 species, some of which cause septicemia in preterm neonates. CoNS establish early on the skin and in the oral and gut microbiota, from where they may spread to the bloodstream. The colonization pattern preceding septicemia is not well-defined.

The Staphylococcus genus comprises multiple pathogenic and opportunistic species that represent a risk to public health. Epidemiological studies require accurate taxonomic classification of isolates with enough resolution to distinguish clonal complexes. Unfortunately, 16 S rRNA molecular analysis and phenotypic characterization cannot distinguish all species and do not offer enough resolution to assess intraspecific diversity.

A high proportion of methicillin resistance along with intense biofilm-producing ability render CoNS-related infections challenging to treat. This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms of methicillin resistance, identify genes encoding for virulence, and their association with clinical outcomes among clinical isolates of Staphylococci in a tertiary care center.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition arising from a dysregulated host immune response to infection, leading to a substantial global health burden. The accurate identification of bacterial pathogens in sepsis is essential for guiding effective antimicrobial therapy and optimising patient outcomes. Traditional culture-based bacterial typing methods present inherent limitations, necessitating the exploration of alternative diagnostic approaches.

Staphylococci are classified as one of the pathogens causing bovine mastitis that can pose not only an economic loss to the dairy farms, but a serious public-health threat based on their zoonotic potential. We focused to monitor phenotypes of the isolated strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (S.
