Abstract

(Gram-negative) bacterial strains without requiring additional antibiotics. This activity is attributed to its membrane-targeting mechanism, which is further confirmed through SEM analysis. The inherent AIE effect facilitates real-time bacterial detection, with preferential accumulation on microbial membranes leading to cell membrane disruption and intracellular penetration. This study introduces a versatile, antibiotic-free strategy for fighting against pathogenic bacterial strains, and it also provides a scalable framework for developing next-generation biomaterials with significant potential in both bacterial detection and therapeutic applications.
