Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a public health threat due to the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the capacity of this organism to infect numerous organs in vertebrates. To generate energy needed to proliferate within tissues, S. aureus transitions between aerobic respiration and fermentation. Fermentation results in a distinct colony morphology called the small-colony variant (SCV) due to decreased membrane...
