Ratiometric fluorescent probes for selective and sensitive visualization of bacterial microenvironment protease activity.

TLDR
The extracellular SspA protease of the human pathogen S. aureus is essential for evading the host immune defence system and two novel FRET probes for selective real-time ratiometric imaging of SSPA activity in live S.Aureus cells are reported.
