Abstract excerpt
Bacterial infections provide diagnostic dilemmas that could be enlightened by modern imaging technologies. We have developed a simple method for imaging bacterial infections in mice that relies on the phosphorylation and trapping of the thymidine kinase (TK) substrate 1-(2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-[125I] iodouracil ([125I]FIAU) within bacteria. FIAU was found to inhibit the growth of WT...
