Published in 2024 at "Advanced Healthcare Materials"

DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202303671

Abstract: Intracellular bacteria are the major cause of serious infections including sepsis and peritonitis, but face great challenges in fighting against the stubborn intracellular small colony variants (SCVs). Herein, the authors have developed nanogels (NGs) to… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease"

DOI: 10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2017.11.012

Abstract: BACKGROUND Small-colony variants (SCVs) are a distinct phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus, known for their role in chronic, difficult to treat infections, including cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. The goal of this study was to characterize… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Food bioscience"

DOI: 10.1016/j.fbio.2020.100874

Abstract: Abstract Staphylococcus aureus can survive at low temperature which existed a potential risk of food safety. In this paper, the properties of cold-induced small colony variants (SCVs) were investigated including the antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "iScience"

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2020.100827

Abstract: Summary Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms represent a major threat to health care. Rugose small colony variants (RSCV) of P. aeruginosa, isolated from chronic infections, display hyperbiofilm phenotype. RSCV biofilms are highly resistant to antibiotics and host… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86764-4

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… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology"

DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2025.2566174

Abstract: Abstract Natural environmental conditions fluctuate randomly, with various factors influencing multiple aspects of the microorganisms that live in them. In adverse environmental conditions, microorganisms can enter dormant states with low metabolic activities, which is a… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1099/mic.0.001277

Abstract: In recent work we identified genes that confer the slow-growing and antibiotic-resistant small-colony variant (SCV) form of Staphylococcus aureus , as associated with the amount of capsule the bacteria produce. In this study we isolated… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy"

DOI: 10.1128/aac.00621-22

Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major pathogen in burn wound infections. We present one of the first reports of small-colony variant (SCV) emergence of P. aeruginosa, taken from a patient under aminoglycosides for a persistent burn… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy"

DOI: 10.1128/aac.02532-17

Abstract: ABSTRACT The Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variant (SCV) phenotype has been associated with relapsing and antibiotic-refractory infections. However, little is known about the activities of antibiotics on clinical SCVs. Here, we demonstrated that SCVs without detectable… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Infection and Immunity"

DOI: 10.1128/iai.00237-22

Abstract: Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease is characterized by lifelong infections with pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, leading to eventual respiratory failure. Small colony variants (SCVs) of S. aureus have been linked to worse clinical outcomes for… read more here.
