Pathogen Profile
Vancomycin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci
Coagulase-negative Staphylococci are often found on skin, but can cause bloodstream infections or infections of prosthetic material in patients receiving health care. Resistance to vancomycin is rare but can make treatment of such infections very difficult.

Geographic Locations
Antimicrobial resistance varies by location, driven by a number of factors, including antibiotic use and infection control practices in individual healthcare facilities, the underlying health and age of the patient population, and regional spread from nearby locations.

Footnotes
- HAIs include Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI), and Surgical Site Infections (SSI).
- CI (Confidence Interval) - The national, regional, and state-level data included in Antimicrobial Resistance information are displayed with 95% confidence intervals around the percent resistance, which were calculated using a mid-P exact test and are an indication of precision.
