Abstract

overall, our findings suggest that using bacterial tuf gene sequencing in conjunction with bioinformatic analysis of this gene utilizing the MLPM may serve as a useful epidemiologic method in predicting the source of staphylococcal infections in neonates in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and possibly other units in the hospital.
