A Supramolecular Fluorescent Sensor Array Composed of Conjugated Fluorophores and Cucurbit[7]uril for Bacterial Recognition
Bacterial infections have emerged as a significant contributor to global mortality and morbidity rates. Herein, we introduce a dual fluorescence "turn-on" supramolecular sensor array composed of three assembled complexes (<b>C1</b>-<b>C3</b>), formed from three positively charged fluorophores (<b>A1</b>-<b>A3</b>) and one cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]). The ability of this three-element array to simultaneously recognize 10 bacterial species within just 30 s was remarkable, boasting an impressive 100% accuracy. Additionally, the array excelled at distinguishing among various bacterial mixtures and enabled the quantitative detection of common bacterial strains. Notably, it has been skillfully applied to differentiate 10 bacterial samples in urine, achieving excellent differentiation and showcasing promising potential for medical diagnostic applications.
