Staphylococcus epidermidis: A differential trait of the fecal microbiota of breast-fed infants

Abstract

The presence of S. epidermidis is a differential trait of the fecal microbiota of breast-fed infants. Globally, the staphyloccal isolates obtained from milk and feces of breast-fed infants contain a low number of virulence determinants and are sensitive to most of the antibiotics tested.
