The <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> effects of constitutive light expression on the mouse enteropathogen <i>Citrobacter rodentium</i>
2016-04-23
Abstract excerpt
Bioluminescent reporter genes, such as those from fireflies and bacteria, let researchers use light production as a non-invasive and non-destructive surrogate measure of microbial numbers in a wide variety of environments. As bioluminescence needs microbial metabolites, tagging microorganisms with luciferases means only live metabolically active cells are detected. Despite the wide use of bioluminescent reporter g...
