In vivo targeted fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging of E. coli bacterial infection using polymyxin B-conjugated and polyacrylic acid-grafted GdEuO3 nanoparticles.
Lanthanide oxide nanoparticles are ideal systems for highly sensitive diagnosis of infectious diseases because of their excellent optical, magnetic, and physicochemical properties. In this study, polymyxin B (PMB), serving as an E. coli-targeting ligand, was conjugated with polyacrylic acid (PAA)-grafted GdEuO3 nanopar...
