A Luminogen with Aggregation‐Induced Emission Characteristics for Wash‐Free Bacterial Imaging, High‐Throughput Antibiotics Screening and Bacterial Susceptibility Evaluation

A luminogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics is reported for bacterial imaging and antibiotics screening studies. The luminogen can light up bacteria in a wash-free manner, which simplifies the imaging process and increases its accuracy in bacterial detection. It can also be applied to high-throughput screening of antibiotics and fast evaluation of bacterial susceptibility, giving reliable results in less than 5 h.
