In vitro imaging of bacteria using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose micro positron emission tomography

Abstract Positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) can be applied to detect infection and inflammation. However, it was so far not known to what extent bacterial pathogens may contribute to the PET signal. Therefore, we investigated whether clinical isolates of...
