Imaging InlC Secretion to Investigate Cellular Infection by the Bacterial Pathogen Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram positive bacterial pathogen frequently used as a major model for the study of intracellular parasitism. Imaging late L. monocytogenes infection stages within the context of small-interfering RNA screens allows for the global study of cellular pathways required for bacterial infection of target host...

Infecting Flies with Bacterial Suspension Using a Nanoinjector

This video demonstrates the nano-injection of bacterial suspension into the fly body cavity, resulting in bacterial multiplication and infection. The fly's immune response clears some bacteria, while others escape immune clearance and survive within the host causing an...

Using Luciferase to Image Bacterial Infections in Mice

Methods for bioluminescence imaging of bacterial infections in living animals are decribed. Pathogens are modified to express luciferase allowing optical whole body imaging of infections in live animals. Animal models can be infected with luciferase expressing pathogens and the resulting course of disease visualized in real-time by bioluminescence...
