Abstract:
A mycobacteriophage capable of delivering an auto-luminescent element includes luxCDABE genes for auto-luminescence of a host bacterium. The auto-luminescent element is located on a transposon, and can be randomly inserted into the host genome with the transposon. The mycobacteriophage can be used for rapid detection of a live host bacterium in a sample and detection of sensitivity of the host bacterium to a drug or drug combination.
