The fading and quenching of fluorescence intensity has been a major problem in the use of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) for immunofluorescence cytochemical techniques, especially with laser confocal microscopy. The companion article by Longin et al. provided an empirical approach to overcoming this problem. The present commentary highlights the significance of the Longin et al. article when it was published and its continued relevance today.

Antibiotic resistance is a major problem and a major global health concern. In total, there are 16 million deaths yearly from infectious diseases, and at least 65% of infectious diseases are caused by microbial communities that proliferate through the formation of biofilms. Antibiotic overuse has resulted in the evolution of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microbial strains.

Innovative therapeutic approaches are required to battle the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. Tapping on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in bacteria induced by bactericidal antibiotics, here we report a two-pronged strategy for bacterial inactivation relying on the synergistic combination of a bactericidal antibiotic and newly designed dormant photosensitizers (DoPSs) that activate in the presence of ROS. Intramolecular quenching renders DoPS inert in the presence of light.

Photoluminescence activity of coordination polymers (CPs) has evoked intricate applications in the field of materials science, especially sensing of ions/molecules. In the present study, 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) and 5-aminoisophthalate (HAIPA) coordinated to Cd(II) to architect a coordination polymer, {[Cd(HAIPA)(tppz)(OH)]·3HO} (CP) which unveils blue emission in an aqueous acetonitrile (98% aqueous) suspension. The emission is selectively quenched by Pd only without interference in the presence of as many as 16 other cations.

Over the past decade, methicillin-resistant (MRSA) has become a major source of biofilm formation and a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance. The genes that govern biofilm formation are regulated by a signaling mechanism called the quorum-sensing system. There is a need for new molecules to treat the infections caused by dangerous pathogens like MRSA.
