Abstract
Rapid and sensitive classification of bacteria is the first step for bacterial community research and the treatment of clinical infection. The historic golden standard Gram staining is composed of multi‐step processes and requires experienced technical skill to achieve reliable results, and also the resulting fixed bacteria is not available for further vital study. Herein, we present a novel fluorescent probe BacGO, which shows the best universal selectivity for Gram‐positive bacteria among known probes with minimum staining procedure for sample detection and enrichment of the live bacteria. We also successfully demonstrated BacGO in one‐pot colony staining in plate culture, and an assessment of the Gram status in the bacterial community from wastewater sludge. Furthermore, the high sensitivity and selectivity of probe allowed BacGO for selective Gram‐positive bacterial detection in infection, not only in vitro but also in vivo keratitis mouse model. BacGO provides an unprecedented research tool for dynamic bacterial community study and clinical application.
