Bacterial infections represent an increasing problem in modern health care, in particular due
to ageing populations and accumulating bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Diagnosis is …

Mesoporous silica materials (MSM) have a great surface area and a high pore volume,
meaning that they consequently have a large loading capacity, and have been …

Currently optical-based techniques for in vivo microbial population imaging are limited by
low imaging depth and highly light-scattering tissue; and moreover, are generally effective …

Currently, there are no non-invasive tools to accurately diagnose wound and surgical site
infections before they become systemic or cause significant anatomical damage …

Ultra-sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is of great significance in the early stage of
bacterial infections and treatment. In this work, we report a novel strategy using …

In this study, we used a simple one-step dry heating method to synthesize mannose-
modified fluorescent carbon quantum dots (Man-CQDs) from solid ammonium citrate and …

The ability of bacteria to form biofilms hinders any conventional treatment for chronic
infections and has serious socio-economic implications. For this purpose, a nanocarrier …

Significance: Chronic wounds affect millions of patients worldwide, placing a huge burden
on health care resources. Although significant progress has been made in the development …

Contamination of pathogenic bacteria seriously threatens human health and safety, and the
types and pathogenicity of bacteria are closely related to cell walls. Fluorescent probes can …

Despite advances in the field of nuclear medicine, the imaging of bacterial infections has
remained a challenge. The existing reagents suffer from poor sensitivity and specificity. In …
