Staphylococcus aureus Small Colony Variants (SCVs): News From a Chronic Prosthetic Joint Infection

Small colony variants (SCV) of Staphylococcus aureus have been reported as implicated in chronic infections. Here, we investigated the genomic and transcriptomic changes involved in the evolution from a wild-type to a SCV from in a patient with prosthetic joint infection relapse. The SCV presented a...
