As multidrug-resistant bacteria are an emerging problem and threat to humanity, novel
strategies for treatment and diagnostics are actively sought. We aim to utilize siderophores …

This review covers publications on siderophores applied for molecular imaging applications,
mainly for radionuclide-based imaging. Siderophores are low molecular weight chelators …

Introduction Deferoxamine (DFO) is a siderophore that bacteria use to scavenge iron and
could serve as a targeting vector to image bacterial infection where current techniques have …

Purpose With the increase of especially hospital-acquired infections, timely and accurate
diagnosis of bacterial infections is crucial for effective patient care. Molecular imaging has …

The diagnosis of bacterial infections at deep body sites benefits from noninvasive imaging of
molecular probes that can be traced by positron emission tomography (PET). We specifically …

Pathogenic bacteria scavenge ferric iron from the host for survival and proliferation using
small-molecular chelators, siderophores. Here, we introduce and assess the gallium (III) …

INTRODUCTION: Siderophores are low-molecular-mass iron chelators serving as iron
transporters for almost all bacteria, fungi and some plants. Iron is an essential element for …

Siderophores are low-molecular-weight chelators produced by microorganisms to scavenge
iron from the environment and deliver it to cells via specific receptors. Tremendous …

Abstract Purpose Some [68 Ga] siderophores show promise in specific and sensitive
imaging of infection. Here, we compare the in vitro and in vivo behaviour of selected Ga-68 …

For specific imaging of bacterial infections we aimed at targeting the exclusive bacterial iron
transport system via siderophore-based radiotracers. De novo synthesis and radiolabeling …
