Phenotypic and Genotypic Characteristics of Small Colony Variants and Their Role in Chronic Infection

Small colony variant (SCV) bacteria arise spontaneously within apparently homogeneous microbial populations, largely in response to environmental stresses, such as antimicrobial treatment. They display unique phenotypic characteristics conferred in part by heritable genetic changes. Characteristical...
