title: [Study of the binding between bacterial lipopolysaccharides and polymyxin by a bioluminescent method].
abstract: For rating the interaction of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) with polymixin B (PmB) a bacterial bioluminescence is offered to be used. Bioluminescence level of bacteria decreases under free antibiotic amounts action. It is shown, that as a result of interaction with LPS antibiotic properties of PmB are reduced, and the intensity of bacterial bioluminescence is restored. The bioluminescence level in such system characterizes the LPS quantity. Kinetic properties of bacterial light emission at the presence of LPS and PmB are investigated as well as equilibrium state of the system. Kinetic and equilibrium constants describing this reaction are determined. The conditions of quantitative bioluminescent definition of LPS in an interval of concentration 0.166-10 micrograms/ml have been chosen and calibration curves are presented.
