Abstract excerpt
AIM: Recently, S. aureus small colony variants (SCVs) were reported to persist within cultured endothelial cells and to cause persistent and antibiotic resistant infections in humans. Because gentamicin can very reproducably select for electron transport deficient SCVs as shown in earlier in vitro experiments, we searched for SCVs in a patient with chronic osteomyelitis, who received gentamicin beads.
