Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNST) are among the most common microorganisms found colonizing the skin and mucous membranes of neonates. They are also the most common cause of bacteremia in neonatal intensive care units. We analyzed the occurrence of CNST and antibiotic resistance of CNST strains. We have found 731 strains of CNST isolated from 428 intensive treated babies. Above 50% of CNST strains were resistant to: Erythromycin, Lincomycin, Tobramycin, Gentamycin, Kanamycin, Tetracyclines and Penicillins. We have observed the very high incidence of multiresistant strains. Majority of our strains were sensitive to vancomycin. However 8% of strains showed the resistance to vancomycin.
