[Small-colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus: Usefulness of various test for diagnosis and susceptibility study].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Small colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus (SCVSA) are a sub-population with special features. METHODS:The phenotypic features and antibiotic susceptibility of four clinical isolates SCVSA were studied. RESULTS:Colonies grew in the usual culture media, except in Mueller Hinton. All isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin and co-trimoxazole. DISCUSSION:As SCVSA are isolated with low frequency, it is necessary to determine the optimal methods for their identification and antibiotic susceptibility study.
