A novel <i>hemA</i> mutation is responsible for small colony variant phenotype in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2020-05-02
Abstract excerpt
We identified a small colony variant (SCV) of a clinical isolate of Escherichia coli from Malawi following sequential in vitro selection in sub-inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and gentamicin. The SCV was auxotrophic for hemin and had impaired biofilm formation compared to the ancestral isolates. A single novel nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in hemA , which encodes a glutamyl-tRNA reducta...
