<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Small-Colony Variants from Airways of Adult Cystic Fibrosis Patients as Precursors of Adaptive Antibiotic-Resistant Mutations

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Small-Colony Variants from Airways of Adult Cystic Fibrosis Patients as Precursors of Adaptive Antibiotic-Resistant Mutations

Prototypic <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and their small-colony variants (SCVs) are predominant in cystic fibrosis (CF), but the interdependence of these phenotypes is poorly understood. We characterized <i>S. aureus</i> isolates from adult CF patients over several years. Of 1...
