Abstract

Bacteria expressing lux genes are used to study real time pharmacodynamics of antimicrobial agents. We aim to extend this elegant reporter gene technology and construct bacteria carrying a dual GFP/lux reporter system. GFP genes will be inserted downstream of stress-responsive promoters in the bacteria to increase assay speed and sensitivity.
