Abstract

Bacterial infections of the eye are significant causes of morbidity that can lead to permanent visual loss without rapid and adequate treatment, with Gram-positive bacteria causing the majority of ocular infections. Here we report a novel probe, based on the reductive amination of vancomycin with a 4-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD)-based aldehyde, that rapidly and specifically detects Gram positive infections from ocular samples.
