Out of 350 staphylococcal isolates collected from three hospitals, 190 were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). These isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility tests, detection of\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">mecA<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing.
