Provided is a cell-free expression system and method for its use for detecting the presence of a bacterial biofilm on a surface, wherein the film comprises a) an exogenous quorum sensing protein or an exogenous nucleic acid sequence coding for a quorum sensing protein capable of selectively binding to a bacterial signaling molecule; and b) an exogenous nucleic acid sequence comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence coding for a marker protein, wherein the promoter is regulated by the binding of the quorum sensing protein to the bacterial signaling molecule. Further provided is an aerosol formulation, as well as an adhesive bandage, each of which may be used for detecting the presence of a bacterial biofilm on a surface, comprising the disclosed cell free expression system and methods therefor.
提供了一种无细胞表达系统及其使用方法,用于检测表面上细菌生物膜的存在,其中膜包括a)外源性定量感应蛋白或编码定量感应蛋白的外源性核酸序列,其能够选择性地结合到细菌信号分子;以及b)包括可操作地连接到编码标记蛋白的核酸序列的启动子的外源性核酸序列,其中启动子由定量感应蛋白与细菌信号分子的结合调节。此外,还提供了气雾剂配方以及粘合绷带,每种都可以用于检测表面上的细菌生物膜,包括所述的无细胞表达系统及其方法。
