Improved luciferase tagging system for Listeria monocytogenes allows real-time monitoring in vivo and in vitro

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An improved system for luciferase tagging Listeria monocytogenes was developed by constructing a highly active, constitutive promoter. This construct gave 100-fold-higher activity in broth than any native promoter tested and allowed for imaging of lux-tagged L. monocytogenes in food products, during murine infections, and in tumor targeting studies.
