Background:

  • Traditional bacterial infection analysis in animal models uses population averages, hindering individual temporal tracking.
  • Longitudinal assessment of infection within the same individual is challenging with current methods.
  • Understanding infection dynamics is key for disease mechanism elucidation and treatment development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review in vivo imaging techniques for detecting bacterial colonization in deep tissues of animal models.
  • To highlight methods for enhancing the sensitivity of these imaging techniques.
  • To introduce a novel near-infrared luminescence imaging system for high-sensitivity bacterial detection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing in vivo imaging modalities for bacterial infection detection.
  • Focus on techniques applicable to deep tissue imaging in animal models.
  • Introduction of a near-infrared luminescence imaging system.

Main Results:

  • In vivo imaging enables longitudinal tracking of bacterial infections in individual animals.
  • Near-infrared luminescence imaging offers high sensitivity and versatility for detecting deep-seated infections.
  • Strategies for further improving imaging sensitivity are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • In vivo imaging significantly advances the study of bacterial infection dynamics in animal models.
  • Novel imaging systems like near-infrared luminescence improve detection sensitivity and reduce animal usage.
  • Continued development in imaging sensitivity is crucial for comprehensive understanding and treatment of bacterial infections.
