medicine | expression in Staphylococcus aureus Xen29. In the absence of antibiotics, staphylococcal bioluminescence increases over time until a maximum after ca. 6 h of growth, and subsequently decreases to the detection threshold after 24 h of growth. Up to minimal inhibitory concentrations of the antibiotics vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin or chloramphenicol, bioluminescence increases according to a similar pattern up to 6 h of growth, but after 24 h, bioluminescence is higher than in the absence of antibiotics. Antibiotic pressure impacts the relation between bioluminescence per organism and bioluminescence. Under antibiotic pressure, bioluminescence is not controlled by luxA expression but by cofactors impacting the bacterial metabolic activity | Photorhabdus luminescens |
