This video describes the simple ATP-measuring assay using luciferase glow reagent. This assay is used to quantify Neisseria gonorrhoeae survival after treatment with ceftriaxone.
Protocol
1. Viability quantification of GC aggregations Collect GC using a sterile applicator. Swab GC from the plate and re-suspend GC in pre-warmed broth(GCP, Table 1) supplemented with 4.2% NaHCO3 and 1% Kellogg solutions. Use spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 650 nm (an OD 650 of 1 = ~1 x 109 CFU/mL) to determine the concentration of suspended bacteria. Adjust the concentration of GC to ~1 x 108 CFU/mL. Add 99 µL of adju…
