DescriptionBioTracker Bacterial FtsZ Live Cell Dye
OverviewThe filamentous temperature-sensitive Z (FtsZ) protein is a promising target for the development of new antibacterial drug targets. FtsZ is a protein encoded by the ftsZ gene that assembles into a ring at the future site of bacterial cell division and is one of the most conserved proteins in prokaryotes. This live cell probe will aid development of new FtsZ inhibitors and enable screening for FtsZ inhibition in a broad range of bacterial species.

BioTracker Bacterial FtsZ Live Cell Dye is a BODIPY conjugated fluorescent probe that binds FtsZ proteins from both Gram-positive pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae) and Gram-negative pathogens (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii) (1). It allows for visualization of FtsZ using fluorescence microscopy, and can be used to monitor and identify non-fluorescent FtsZ inhibitors in these target pathogens.
