Abstract
Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles are used as a free-radical inert and light-harvesting nanoplatform for in vivo molecular imaging of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). This nanoprobe permits detection of RONS in the microenvironment of spontaneous bacterial infection (see picture; FRET=fluorescence resonance energy transfer).
