Single-cell reporters for pathogen responses to antimicrobial host attacks.

We present different types of reporters and their experimental advantages and challenges, and describe how different strategies can interrogate exposure to antimicrobial host mechanism, pathogen response, inflicted damage, and impact on pathogen fitness at the single-cell level. We find many gaps in available tools but also exciting avenues to address these issues. PMID: 32810800 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
