Use of lux gene technology to investigate real-time in-situ interactions of bacterial pathogens with a model blood-brain barrier system
Bacterial bioluminescence has been shown to be an accurate real-time reporter of bacterial internalisation and a valid alternative to viable counts. A self-bioluminescent strain of the bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis was used to develop and optimise an internalisation assay with a range of...
