We transformed a nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae clinical isolate with a plasmid containing the luxCDABE operon driven by the H. influenzae outer membrane protein P2 promoter. Herein, we demonstrate the ability to detect bioluminescence and to monitor infection within the nasopharynges, eustachian tubes, and middle ears of chinchillas after intranasal and transbullar challenges.
我们用一个含有由流感嗜血杆菌外膜蛋白P2启动子驱动的luxCDABE操纵子的质粒转化了一株不可分型的流感嗜血杆菌临床分离株。在此,我们展示了在滴鼻和经鼓室攻击后,检测生物发光以及监测豚鼠鼻咽、咽鼓管和中耳内感染情况的能力。
