Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is a slowly growing mycobacterial species, requiring 6 to 8 weeks of culture before colonies can be counted visually. Here, we describe the development of luminescent M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis expressing luxAB genes of Vibrio harveyi and its use for vaccine testing in an experimental mouse model, replacing fastidious CFU counting by rapid luminometry.
副结核分枝杆菌鸟亚种是一种生长缓慢的分枝杆菌,需要6至8周的培养时间才能肉眼计数菌落。在此,我们描述了表达哈维氏弧菌luxAB基因的发光副结核分枝杆菌鸟亚种的构建及其在实验小鼠模型中用于疫苗测试的应用,通过快速发光测定法取代了繁琐的菌落形成单位计数。
