Construction of a functional IgG-binding luciferase fusion protein for the rapid detection of specific bacterial strains.
A fusion protein consisting of two IgG-binding domains of streptococcal protein G and firefly luciferase was constructed, and a simple and specific bioluminescent immunodetection system for bacterial strains was developed.
