Bacterial infection has always been a serious public health problem worldwide. Real-time microbial monitoring in the trauma resuscitation unit is crucial for infection control and plays an essential role in all aspects of wound treatment clinical practice, such as identification and evaluation of wound infection, diagnosis of wound infection, and topical antimicrobial treatment. Herein, gold-loaded nickel oxide nanosheets (Au-NiO NSs) prepared by hydrothermal and laser-assisted synthesis methods are used as fluorescent nanoprobes to rapidly detect and target bacteria at an early stage, and then achieve combined PTT and PDT to inactivate bacteria under sunlight.

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has great potential for improved phototheranostics, but lacks nonfluorescent, resonant and high-affinity Raman dyes. Herein, it is designed and synthesize a multi-sulfur Raman reporter, NF1064, whose maximum absorption of 1064 nm rigidly resonates with NIR-II excitation laser while possessing absolutely nonfluorescent backgrounds. Ultrafast spectroscopy suggests that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of NF1064 originates from twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in the excited state.

Near-infrared (NIR) surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERRS) nanoprobes have found wide applications in biomedicine; however, almost all of these nanoprobes are fluorescent because the resonant Raman dyes used cannot be fully quenched onto the underlying plasmonic nanoparticles. Therefore, suppressing the fluorescence backgrounds in resonant Raman spectroscopy imaging is extremely important. In this work, we use a black hole quencher, IQ1, as a Raman dye to develop absolutely nonfluorescent NIR resonant SERRS NPs.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an innovative spectroscopic technique that amplifies the Raman signals of molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces, making it pivotal for single-molecule detection in complex biological and environmental matrices. This review aims to elucidate the design strategies and recent advancements in the application of standalone SERS nanoprobes, with a special focus on quantifiable SERS tags. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the recent literature, focusing on the development of SERS nanoprobes that employ novel nanostructuring techniques to enhance signal reliability and quantification.
