Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants: a challenge to microbiologists and clinicians.

International journal of antimicrobial agents - 1 Jun 2008

von Eiff Christof

Abstract excerpt

The pathogen Staphylococcus aureus may use various strategies to resist antibiotic therapy. One of these strategies is the formation of small colony variants (SCVs), a naturally occurring, slow-growing subpopulation with distinctive phenotypic characteristics and pathogenic traits. SCVs are defined by mostly non-pigmented and non-haemolytic colonies ca. 10 times smaller than the parent strain. In the past decade,...
