Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an increasingly prevalent pathogen that has become a serious health concern due to an increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired infections. The emergence of MDR- P. aeruginosa coupled with shrinking antibiotic pipelines has increased the demand for new antimicrobials and therapeutics. An effective tool for drug screening both in vitro and in vivo can facilitate the discovery of drugs and regimens for treating P. aeruginosa infection. Here, for the first time, we combined the mini-Tn7 system and Xer/ dif recombinase system to construct a stable and s electable marker- f ree a uto l uminescent P . a eruginosa (SfAlPa) by one step. Afterwards, in vitro and in vivo activities of several antibiotics including amikacin , biapenem , levofloxacin and polymyxin B were assessed using SfAlPa. This study demonstrated that the use of SfAlPa could significantly facilitate rapid real-time evaluating the activities of compounds. Compared to prevailing methods, this method reduces the time, effort, animals and costs consumed in the discovery of new drugs against P. aeruginosa . Additionally, the methodology described in this study could be easily modified for construction of selectable marker-free reporter strain in other Gram-negative bacteria.
