[Dwarf colony mutants of "staphylococcus": study of three strains isolated from patients with osteosynthesis (author's transl)].

Abstract excerpt

Dwarf colony mutants of staphylococci were isolated from per operative samplings obtained from three patients with a bacterial contamination of their osteosynthesis material. The dwarf mutants grown in trypticase soja agar (TSA) after 72 h at 37 degrees C (two cases) and in nutrient broth (one case). They displayed poor growth (very small, transparent colonies on TSA), reduced biochemical activity, deficient...
