Peptidoglycan, an essential component within the cell walls of virtually all bacteria, is
composed of glycan strands linked by stem peptides that contain D‐amino acids. The …

N-Acetyl muramic acid (NAM) probes containing alkyne or azide groups are commonly used
to investigate aspects of cell wall synthesis because of their small size and ability to …

Purpose: This study was motivated by the need for better positron emission tomography
(PET)-compatible tools to image bacterial infection. Our previous efforts have targeted …

Spectrally‐resolved single molecule localization microscopy (srSMLM) is a recent technique
enriching single molecule localization microscopy with the simultaneous recording of …

The threat of multidrug-resistant bacteria has been increasing steadily in the past century,
posing a major health risk (Organización Mundial de la Salud. Directrices Sobre …

Purpose There is currently no ideal radiotracer for imaging bacterial infections.
Radiolabelled d-amino acids are promising candidates because they are actively …

The continuous emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens co-expressing serine and
metallo-carbapenemases seriously threatens the efficacy of carbapenem. Here, we report …

A method of choice to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of bacterial cell growth and
division is to analyze the localization of cell wall synthesis regions by fluorescence …

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) enable in situ visualization of bacterial cell wall
synthesis via their incorporation into peptidoglycan (PG) crosslinks. When combined with …

Super-resolution microscopy can resolve cellular features at the nanoscale. However,
increased spatial resolution comes with increased phototoxicity, and reduced temporal …
