Abstract

Abstract

The development of a non-invasive infection-specific diagnostic probe holds the potential to vastly improve early-stage detection of infection, enabling precise therapeutic intervention and potentially reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance. Towards this goal, a commercially available bacteria-targeting Zinc (II)-dipicolylamine (ZnDPA)-derived fluorophore, PSVue794, was assessed as a photoacoustic (PA) imaging probe (PIP). A radiolabeled version of the dye, [99mTc]Tc-PSVue794, was developed to facilitate quantitative biodistribution studies beyond optical imaging methods, which showed a target-to-non-target ratio of 10.1 ± 1.1, 12 hrs post-injection. The ability of the PIP to differentiate between bacterial infection, sterile inflammation, and healthy tissue in a mouse model, was then evaluated via PA imaging. The PA signal in sites of sterile inflammation (0.062 ± 0.012 a.u.) was not statistically different from that of the background (0.058 ± 0.006 a.u.). In contrast, high PA contrast was detected at sites of bacterial infection (0.176 ± 0.011 a.u.) as compared to background (0.081 ± 0.04 a.u., where P ≤ 0.03). This work demonstrates the potential of utilizing established fluorophores towards PAI and utilizing PAI as a modality in the distinction of bacterial infection from sites of sterile inflammation.
