Analysis of Antimicrobial-Triggered Membrane Depolarisation Using Voltage Sensitive Dyes

The bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is a major inhibitory target for antimicrobial compounds. Commonly, although not exclusively, these compounds unfold their antimicrobial activity by disrupting the essential barrier function of the cell membrane. As a consequence, membrane permeability assays are c...
