IVISbrite Bioluminescent Bacterial Strains

Infectious disease is a perennially important area for research and drug discovery. Over the last few decades, with the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become a global public health crisis. Fortunately, an increase in antibiotic resistance awareness internationally has promoted research for developing new antibiotic agents as well as innovative ways to combat infection from antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.

In addition, there has recently been an increase in research of the microbiome to gain a deeper understanding of its role in human health and diseases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.

Whether you endeavor to find a new antibiotic to treat the latest super bug, or investigate the role bacteria plays in the human microbiome, we have the tools you need to advance your research. Our wide range of IVISbrite™ gram positive and gram negative bioluminescent bacteria labeled with the Photorhabdus luminescens lux operon (including biofilm forming strains) can be used for a variety of in vitro and in vivo applications.
