Pathogenic <i>E. coli</i> infection is one of the most widespread foodborne diseases, so the development of sensitive, reliable and easy operating detection tests is a key issue for food safety. Identifying bacteria with a fluorescent medium is more sensitive and faster than using chromogenic media. This study designed and synthesized a <i>β</i>-galactosidase-activatable fluorescent probe BOD-Gal for the sensitive detection of <i>E. coli</i>. It employed a biocompatible and photostable 4,4-diflu ...[more]
