A Comparative Genomic Analysis between Small Colony Variant and Wild Type of Burkholderia psuedomallei in A Patient with Bacterial Liver Abscess

ConclusionsThe reduced growth speed and increased drug resistance of B. pseudomallei SCV strain may be related to those variations in genome, which provided some clues to their associations between the morphotypic and phenotypic characteristics of colony variants, and the potential associations of its colony morphotypes with metabolism, antibiotic resistance and virulence.
