Occurrence of virulence genes icaADBC and antibiotic resistance genes blaZ, mecA, and aac(6’)-Ie-aph (2’’)-Ia in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates from neonates with sepsis at a regional referral hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Occurrence of virulence genes icaADBC and antibiotic resistance genes blaZ, mecA, and aac(6’)-Ie-aph (2’’)-Ia in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates from neonates with sepsis at a regional referral hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Abstract Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have been linked to severe conditions such as bloodstream infection, with biofilm formation regarded as the major virulence mechanism. This study determined virulence genes (VGs) (icaA, icaB, icaC, and icaD) responsible for biofilm formatio...
