Sensitive detection of gene expression in mycobacteria under replicating and non-replicating conditions using optimized far-red reporters.

Fluorescent reporter proteins have proven useful for imaging techniques in many organisms. We constructed optimized expression systems for several fluorescent proteins from the far-red region of the spectrum and analyzed their utility in several mycobacterial species. Plasmids expressing variants of...
