Pathogenic bacteria and their biofilm formation are responsible for a broad spectrum of microbial infections. A novel enzyme-responsive reporter molecule (ERM-1), which can specifically recognize AmpC β-lactamase (Bla) in drug resistant bacteria, has been developed to enable the selective localization of biofilms.

Hypoxia is a common characteristic of solid tumors. This important feature is associated with resistance to radio-chemotherapy, which results in poor prognosis and probability of tumor recurrence. Taking advantage of background-free NIR II fluorescence imaging and deeper-penetrating photoacoustic (PA) imaging, we developed a hypoxia-triggered and nitroreductase (NTR) enzyme-responsive single molecule probe for high-contrast NIR II/PA tumor imaging and hypoxia-activated photothermal therapy (PTT), which will overcome cellular resistance during hypoxia.

Mobile proton-containing solutes can be detected by MRI by the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) method. CEST sensitivity is dramatically enhanced by using, as exchanging protons, the water molecules confined inside liposomes, shifted by a paramagnetic shift reagent. The chemical shift of the intraliposomal water resonance (δ ) is affected by the overall shape of the supramolecular system.

We report on the use of Raman spectroscopy as a tool to characterise model peptide functionalised surfaces. By taking advantage of Raman reporters built into the peptide sequence, the enzymatic hydrolysis of these peptides could be determined.
