A burdensome, atypical phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) called S aureus small
colony variant (SA-SCV) has been identified, which is induced as a result of a combination …

Staphylococcus aureus (Sau) plays an important role in human infections occurring in both
the community and hospital settings. Sau-related chronic and relapsing infections are mainly …

To identify the most rapid and reliable technique for recovery and identification of
Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants (SCVs), the colonial appearance of 106 …

Subpopulations of bacteria present several challenges to the clinician and the clinical
laboratory. With S. aureus SCVs, the first challenge is finding and correctly identifying them …

S. aureus small-colony variants are a naturally occurring subpopulation which grow slowly
and produce small colonies on routine media. They also demonstrate a number of other …

Staphylococcus aureus is able to survive within host cells by switching its phenotype to the
small-colony variant (SCV) phenotype. The emergence of SCVs is associated with the …

Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants (SCVs) emerge frequently during chronic
infections and are often associated with worse disease outcomes. There are no …

Abstract Background Small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)
frequently lead to chronic and recurrent infections, but they are always ignored and there are …

Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs) are associated with chronic and
persistent infections. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) SCVs cause more severe …

The pathogen Staphylococcus aureus may use various strategies to resist antibiotic therapy.
One of these strategies is the formation of small colony variants (SCVs), a naturally …
