Staphylococcus aureus Small Colony Variants (SCVs): A Road Map for the Metabolic Pathways Involved in Persistent Infections

Persistent and relapsing infections, despite apparently adequate antibiotic therapy, occur frequently with many pathogens, but it is an especially prominent problem with Staphylococcus aureus infections. For the purposes of this review, persistence will encompass both of the concepts of long term s...
