Abstract:
Coagulase-negative staphylococci,especially staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) is on the surface of skin and mucous membrane of human,and because of its high frequency,especially in hospital,it is thought to be an important opportunistic pathogen.SE is the common cause of preterm infection,and it has relationship with immature brain.Epidemiology supports the relationship among preterm,infection and brain injury.SE could lead to brain injury through Toll-like receptor mediated inflammation.
