A TCF-based fluorescent probe to determine nitroreductase (NTR) activity for a broad-spectrum of bacterial species

Abstract

A nitroreductase (NTR) responsive fluorescent probe with long wavelength fluorescence emission was used to determine the NTR activity of a selection of bacterial species under a range of different bacterial growth conditions ensuring applicability under multiple complex clinical environments, where sensitivity, reaction time, and the detection accuracy were suitable for planktonic cultures and biofilms.
