Small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus often cause persistant and relapsing infections. SCVs are characterized by a strong reduction in growth rate, atypical colony morphology and unusual biochemical characteristics. We here report a case of chronic oesteomyelitis caused by SCV of Staphyloccous aureus in a middle aged male patient.
金黄色葡萄球菌的小菌落变异株(SCVs)常引起持续性和复发性感染。SCVs的特征是生长速率大幅降低、菌落形态不典型以及生化特性异常。我们在此报告一例中年男性患者由金黄色葡萄球菌SCV引起的慢性骨髓炎病例。
