Molecular probes for detecting gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in vivo

A probe is provided comprising a label and a binding moiety, wherein the binding moiety is adapted to bind to gram-negative bacteria, and to substantially not bind to animal cells or gram-positive bacteria. A method of detecting the presence of bacteria in a target area is also provided, which allow...

Zusammenfassung:A probe is provided comprising a label and a binding moiety, wherein the binding moiety is adapted to bind to gram-negative bacteria, and to substantially not bind to animal cells or gram-positive bacteria. A method of detecting the presence of bacteria in a target area is also provided, which allows the detection of bacteria generally, and the determination of whether that bacteria is gram negative or gram positive.
