Accurate and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria are crucial for effectively treating
bacterial infection and reducing mortality caused by bacterial infection. Contrast agent …

Clinically available imaging tools for diagnosing infections rely on structural changes in the
affected tissues. They therefore lack specificity and cannot differentiate between oncologic …

The sensitive detection of bacterial infections is a prerequisite for their successful treatment.
The use of a chemiluminescent readout was so far hampered by an insufficient probe …

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 …

d-Amino acids such as d-alanine are substrates for bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis and
are selectively taken up by bacteria and not mammalian cells. Consequently, d-amino acid …

Tools for noninvasive detection of bacterial pathogens are needed but are not currently
available for clinical use. We have previously shown that para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) …

Despite the significant advances of imaging techniques nowadays, accurate diagnosis of
bacterial infections and real‐time monitoring the efficacy of antibiotic therapy in vivo still …

Infections account for relevant morbidity and mortality, especially if the cardiovascular
system is affected. Clinical manifestations are often unspecific, resulting in a challenging …

Gallium-68-labeled siderophores as radiotracers have gained interest for the development
of in situ infection-specific imaging diagnostics. Here, we report radiolabeling, in vitro …
