Inactivation of genes in oxidative respiration and iron acquisition pathways in pediatric clinical isolates of Small colony variant Enterobacteriaceae

Abstract Isolation of bacterial small colony variants (SCVs) from clinical specimens is not uncommon and can fundamentally change the outcome of the associated infections. Bacterial SCVs often emerge with their normal colony phenotype (NCV) co-isolates in the same sample. The basis of SCV emergence...
