According to microbiological analyses, Staphylococcus aureus and the CNS were found in 8 (7.55%) and 48 (45.28%) samples, respectively. The CNS were identified as S. epidermidis 10 (9.43%), S. arlettae 9 (8.49%), S. xylosus 8 (7.55%), S. sciuri 6 (5.66%), S. simulans 4 (3.77%), S. lentus 3 (2.83%), S. equorum 3 (2.83%), S. warneri 3 (2.83%), S. saprophyticus 1 (0.94%) and S. haemolyticus 1 (0.94%).
