Abstract:
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) largely affects women and is mostly caused by bacteria, among which coagulase negative staphylococci has received little attention. The objectives of this study are to isolate and genotypically identify coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) from urine samples of adult females attending selected healthcare facilities from three States (Oyo, Osun and Ogun) in southwest Nigeria, and to determine their susceptibility to selected antibiotics.
