  • Title: Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis with small-colony variant Staphylococcus aureus.
    Author: Spearman P, Lakey D, Jotte S, Chernowitz A, Claycomb S, Stratton C.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 1996 Sep; 26(1):13-5. PubMed ID: 8950523.
    Abstract:
    Small-colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus may cause invasive disease in adults that is prolonged and refractory to standard therapies. We present a case of sternoclavicular arthritis with small-colony variant S. aureus that occurred in an 11-year-old child and discuss the importance of identification of these variants in the clinical microbiology laboratory.
