Population diversification in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms may promote dissemination and persistence.
The biofilm mode of growth can lead to diversification of the bacterial population by promoting the emergence of variants.Here we report the identification and characterization of two major subpopulations of morphological variants arising in biofilms of S.aureus.One acure face lotion of these lacked pigmentation (termed white variants; WVs), whilst
