To develop a nanoprobe platform that exploits bacterial internalization for aggregation-enhanced visualization and targeted killing of diverse microorganisms in tumor and gut environments.
Designed bioresponsive nanoprobes capable of being internalized and aggregated by bacterial cells.
Assessed nanoprobe-mediated diagnostic imaging and antimicrobial eradication efficacy against bacteria localized within tumor and intestinal tissues.
Enabled high-contrast aggregation-enhanced imaging of diverse bacterial populations residing within tumors and the gut.
Achieved concurrent antimicrobial elimination of targeted microorganisms, facilitating simultaneous visualization and therapeutic intervention in microbial ecosystems.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates aggregation-enhanced imaging and killing of bacteria in tumors and guts, suggesting new avenues for microbiome therapy.

Abstract

CFU bacteria residing within tumour or gut. This technique enables visualization and treatment of diverse bacteria, setting the crucial step forward the study of microbial ecosystem.
