Staphylococcal infections in infants: updates and current challenges.

Abstract
Staphylococci are common pathogens in the neonatal period. Increased survival of premature infants leads to prolonged hospital stay with associated risk factors for developing invasive staphylococcal disease. Challenges of diagnosing coagulase-negative staphylococcal infections result in conflicting definitions and inconsistent clinical practice. Resistance to methicillin influences the choice of empirical therapy.
