The Physiological and Molecular Characterization of a Small Colony Variant of Escherichia coli and Its Phenotypic Rescue.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Santos Victor, Hirshfield Irvin

Abstract excerpt

Small colony variants (SCVs) can be defined as a naturally occurring sub-population of bacteria characterized by their reduced colony size and distinct biochemical properties. SCVs of Staphylococcus aureus have been studied extensively over the past two decades due to their role in recurrent human infections. However, little work has been done on SCVs of Escherichia coli, and this work has focused on the...
