Small-colony variants (SCVs) of staphylococci: a role in foreign body-associated infections.

The International journal of artificial organs - 1 Sept 2007

von Eiff C, Becker K

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococci have various strategies for resisting therapy that extend beyond classic mechanisms. Clinical experience with device-associated infections as well as with infections due to small-colony variants (SCVs) clearly shows that both antibacterial chemotherapy and host defense mechanisms are often unable to eliminate the pathogens and cure these infections. Of particular interest is the fact that in the...
