Abstract:Infections induced by Gram‐positive bacteria pose a great threat to public health. Antibiotic therapy, as the first chosen strategy against Gram‐positive bacteria, is inevitably associated with antibiotic resistance selection. Novel therapeutic strategies for the discrimination and inactivation of Gram‐positive bacteria are thus needed. Here, a specific type of aggregation‐induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) with near‐infrared fluorescence emission as a novel antibiotic‐free therapeutic strategy against Gram‐p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
