“…Microbial resistance to antibiotics (AMR) remains a huge problem (e.g. 6772 ). To this end, a major cause is the ability of efflux pumps to create resistance to antibiotics by pumping them out from the cytoplasm of cells (e.g.…”

“…As previously [17,18], we used a high-throughput flow cytometer, the Intellicyt® iQue Screener Plus (Sartorius, Göttingen, Germany), with the following protocol: buffer equilibration (QSol, Sartorius) and plate shaking at 2000 rpm for 50 sec, sampling for 2 sec with 1 sec upload time, 5 sec wash in Qsol buffer every 3 wells, and further probe wash for 10 sec every 12 wells. The instrument has three LED lasers (405nm, 488nm, 640nm) and collects data for two light scattering and 13 fluorescence channels for all samples.…”

“…Fluorescence flow cytometry provides a convenient and high-throughput means for assessing the extent of uptake and accumulation of a given fluorophore (e.g. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]), and in recent work [17,18] we have found this to be true in E. coli in vivo. In particular, the availability of the 'Keio' collection of single-gene knockouts in 'non-essential' genes [19,20] allowed up to assess the contribution of many of these genes to uptake.…”

“…This instrument does not have user-adjustable photomultiplier tubes so the numbers simply reflect the extent of fluorescence it registers. The following settings [107] were used for the flow cytometry: automatic prime -60 s (in Qsol buffer); pre-plate shake -15 s and 900 r.p.m. ; sip time -2 s (actual sample uptake); additional sip time -0.5 s (the gap between sips); pump speed -29 r.p.m.…”

“…The strategy used to assess diS-C3(5) uptake, gating on light scattering in 'forward' and 'side' directions by the bacteria and assessing uptake via red fluorescence (which is not interfered with by any autofluorescence) is precisely as was described previously [124]. It is obvious ( Fig 2) that even in the wild-type strain there is considerable heterogeneity in the distribution of uptake between individual cells; this becomes even greater for the cells (∆atpB) lacking the β subunit of the membrane ATP synthase.…”
