Small colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus--review.

Folia microbiologica - 1 Nov 2010

Melter O, Radojevič B

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial variants of Staphylococcus aureus called small colony variants (SCVs) originate by mutations in metabolic genes, resulting in emergence of auxotrophic bacterial subpopulations. These variants are not particularly virulent but are able to persist viable inside host cells. SCVs show their characteristic auxotrophic growth deficiency and depressed α-cytotoxin activity. Environmental pressure such as...
