Multifunctional nanoagents for ultrasensitive imaging and photoactive killing of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria

The authors present multifunctional nanoagents that can be used for imaging and treatment of bacterial infections. The nanoagents are made of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles functionalized with a glucose polymer and loaded with chlorin e6, and are taken up by bacteria via ABC transporters.
