Alternative Evolutionary Pathways for Drug-Resistant Small Colony Variant Mutants in <italic toggle="yes">Staphylococcus aureus</italic>
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is known to generate small colony variants (SCVs) that are resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics and can cause persistent and recurrent infections. The SCV phenotype is unstable, and compensatory mutations lead to restored growth, usually with loss of resistance. How...
