Abstract

A luminogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics is reported for bacterial imaging and antibiotics screening studies. The luminogen can light up bacteria in a wash-free manner, which simplifies the imaging process and increases its accuracy in bacterial detection. It can also be applied to high-throughput screening of antibiotics and fast evaluation of bacterial susceptibility, giving reliable results in less than 5 h.

Keywords: aggregation-induced emission; antibiotics screening; bacterial imaging; bacterial susceptibility; high-throughput.
