IVISbrite Proteus mirabilis Xen44 Bioluminescent Bacterial Strain
IVISbrite Proteus mirabilis Xen44 Bioluminescent Bacterial Strain
IVISbrite™ Proteus mirabilis Xen44 bioluminescent bacteria is derived from a parental strain from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), used under license. For in vitro or in vivo imaging applications, IVISbrite P. mirabilis-Xen44 possesses a stable copy of the Photorhabdus luminescens lux operon on the bacterial chromosome.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Product information
Overview
Infectious disease is a perennially important area for both life science research and drug discovery. Some of the first applications of IVIS® imaging technology were in tracking infections and monitoring host responses, and these applications are still at the forefront of research. Our bioluminescent infectious disease light-producing microorganisms have been developed to mimic both acute and chronic standard infection protocols presently used by researchers.
- Engineered Bacterium: Proteus mirabilis - Xen44
- Parental Strain: American Type Culture Collection, used under license
- In Vitro/Ex Vivo: Growth and antibiogram profiles
- In Vivo: UTI
Advantages of using bioluminescent light-producing microorganisms for drug discovery in vitro:
- Rapid and readily amenable to high throughput screening, e.g., 96 or 384-well format
- Sensitivity - subtle changes in cellular viability are rapidly detected
- Inexpensive - no additional substrates needed for bacterial assays
Advantages of using bioluminescent light-producing microorganisms for drug discovery in vivo:
- Rapid identification of lead drug candidates
- Real-time efficacy data
- May help to decrease drug failure by allowing disease relapse to be monitored in the same animal
