Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants show common metabolic features in central metabolism irrespective of the underlying auxotrophism

Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants show common metabolic features in central metabolism irrespective of the underlying auxotrophism

In addition to the classical phenotype, Staphylococcus aureus may exhibit the small colony-variant (SCV) phenotype, which has been associated with chronic, persistent and/or relapsing infections. SCVs are characterized by common phenotypic features such as slow growth, altered susceptibility to anti...
