Abstract:

As one of the major causes for death, bacterial infection is caused by pathogenic bacteria or opportunistic pathogens that invade the human body and proliferate, producing toxins and other metabolites. Early diagnosis of infectious diseases is an important approach to effective treatment and control of infectious diseases. The rapid development of molecular imaging technology has brought unprecedented changes and opportunities to the evaluation of bacterial infection in vivo. This article reviews the research progress and the future development direction of imaging of bacterial infection in vivo based on the imaging methods such as computed tomography, ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and others, aiming to provide reference for the development of detecting bacterial infection in vivo.

Key words: Bacterial infection, Molecular imaging, Multimodal imaging
