摘要

The importance of noninvasive imaging methods to bacterial infections is widely recognized. To obtain bacterial infection imaging with radioisotope-labeled nucleosides, bacterial thymidine kinase (tk) activities of Salmonella typhimurium with [(125)I]5-iodo-1-(2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)uracil ([(125)I]FIAU) or 3'-deoxy-3'-[(18)F]fluorothymidine ([(18)F]FLT) were measured. The infection model in BALB/c mice was imaged with [(125)I]FIAU or [(18)F]FLT using small-animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET), respectively. The accumulated radioactivity of [(125)I]FIAU or [(18)F]FLT in the two strains showed a linearly increased pattern with increasing incubation time or bacterial numbers. The image clearly demonstrated a high uptake of [(125)I]FIAU and [(18)F]FLT in the bacterial infection site. [(18)F]FLT uptake in the infection site of was 7.286±2.405, whereas that in the uninfected site was 0.519±0.561. The relative activity ratio of the infected region in relation to the uninfected region was 2.98 at 4h after an injection with [(125)I]FIAU determined by biodistribution data. In conclusion, the bacterial tk activity was confirmed by the cellular uptake and imaging with [(125)I]FIAU or [(18)F]FLT. Therefore, a localized bacterial infection in living mice can be monitored using radioisotope-labeled nucleosides with a nuclear medicine imaging modality.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier GmbH.
