Cell Host Microbe 3 (2008) 104-113. The authors scaled up of the β-lactamase translocation assay of effectors by quantifying fluorescence via spectrofluorimetric read-outs. This demonstrates the strength of the approach. From the experimental data and mathematical modeling, the authors suggest a hierarchy of the secretion of seven enteropathogenic Escherichia coli effectors.

In this study the experimental set-up of the 4Cys-FlAsH labeling system was greatly improved and used to observe real time secretion of Salmonella typhimurium effectors into mammalian host cells. Particularly, the localization of 4Cys-FlAsH labeled effectors within host cells after translocation is very relevant for future studies.

A very important study (not only) from a technological viewpoint. In vivo imaging has been used to unravel the pathophysiology during bacterial infection on the cellular level. Resolving events on the cellular level in the context of a living organ will be very important to understand how bacterial effectors function in vivo during the process of infection.
