Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci are now the chief cause of bacteremia in neonatal intensive care units. To investigate potential risk factors for this nosocomial infection, we conducted a case–control study among 882 infants treated in two neonatal intensive care units during 1982.This publication has 45 references indexed in Scilit:
