RFP-based method for real-time tracking of invasive bacteria in a heterogeneous population of cells

• Christopher Miller

Quantification of bacterial invasion into eukaryotic cells is a prerequisite to unfold the molecular mechanisms of this vector’s perform to acquire insights for enhancing its effectivity. Invasion is historically quantified by antibiotic safety assays that require dilution plating and counting of colony-forming models rescued from contaminated cells. Nonetheless, to distinguish between connected and internalized micro…
