Selective inactivation of Gram-positive bacteria in vitro and in vivo through metabolic labelling

Bacterial infections are grave threats to human health, particularly those caused by the most common Gram-positive bacteria. The massive administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat various bacterial infections has led to the evolution and spread of drug resistance. As a universal antimicrobial technique unapt to induce drug resistance, photothermal therapy (PTT) is attracting extensive attention in recent years. However, its unspecific...
