Synthesis of vancomycin fluorescent probes that retain antimicrobial activity, identify Gram-positive bacteria, and detect Gram-negative outer membrane damage

B. Zhang, W. Phetsang, et al.

Explore the groundbreaking work of authors Bing Zhang, Wanida Phetsang, and their team as they unveil fluorescent vancomycin probes that not only retain antibacterial activity but also help detect Gram-positive bacteria and assess Gram-negative outer membrane permeabilization. These innovative tools could make a significant impact on infection detection and antibiotic development.
