    Sammanfattning : Newborn infants, especially those born preterm, are immunologically immature and prone to invasive infections. As a result of the increasing survival of very preterm (VPT < 31 weeks gestational age) newborns, nosocomial septicaemia has become a major concern the neonatal intensive care, and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are nowadays the most frequently isolated pathogens in neonatal blood cultures.

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile human pathogen causing a wide range of diseases from uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening invasive diseases like endocarditis, bacteremia, necrotizing pneumonia, and fasciitis. The pathogen has become increasingly resistant to -lactam antibiotics, and of special concern is the rise in community- acquired (CA)-MRSA strains, as specific CA-MRSA clones have been associated with highly aggressive infections.
