18 Background 19 Nasal colonization with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) has been 20 described as a risk factor for subsequent systemic infection. In this study, we aimed to 21 evaluate the profile of CoNS isolates colonizing the nares of children admitted to a 22 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a major city located in central Brazil. 23 Methods 24 We assessed CoNS carriage at admittance and discharge among newborns admitted to 25 an NICU from July 2007 through May 2008 in one of the major municipalities of 26 Brazil.
