Phenotypic diversification in vivo: Pseudomonas aeruginosa gacS- strains generate small colony variants in vivo that are distinct from in vitro variants

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has long been known to produce phenotypic variants during chronic mucosal surface infections. These variants are thought to be generated to ensure bacterial survival against the diverse challenges in the mucosal environment. Studies have begun to elucidate the mechanisms by wh...
