Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic variants (PV) are colonies of the same species in the same specimen with different morphological features. It is controversial whether antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) should be done for all PV. The objectives of this study were to quantify the proportion of differing antimicrobial susceptibility patterns (dASP) among PV and to identify species and antimicrobial compounds that are mostly...
