In comparison with MNP-based T2-type MR agents which produce a negative image contrast, however, bacterial sensing based on positive contrastgenerating T1-type agents has been far less explored. In addition, we envisage that the construction of multimodal wholebacterium sensing platform by integrating two or more detection modes (eg, optical and MR imaging) would endow extra advantages such as complementing the limitation associated with each modality, cross-validation, and maximizing the synergistic effect.[10]As for antibacterial agents, various types of small molecule antibiotics have been developed and daily used in the battle against pathogenic bacteria.[11] In contrast to small molecule antibiotics, macromolecular antibacterial materials typically exhibit sustained inhibitory effect, broad-spectrum antibacterial feature, and most importantly, they are easy to be functionalized through covalent or non-covalent approaches.[12] Recently, Chen et al.[13] reported a “two-in-one” system for bacteria detection and elimination based on functionalized 3D nanowire substrate. Previously, we fabricated polyion complex (PIC) micellar nanoparticles for simultaneous fluorometric detection and inhibition of bacteria.[14] However, the bacteria sensing process is associated with the disintegration of PIC micelles and the emission quenching nature limits their practical applications due to compromised detection sensitivity and operational ease. Herein we report a new bacteria detection and inhibition platform based on amphiphilic star copolymers, TPE-star-P (DMA-co-BMA-co-Gd), consisting of a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) core with well-documented aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, and bacteria-binding and amphiphilic/cationic P (DMA-co-BMA-co-Gd) arms, where DMA, BMA, and Gd are 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and T1-type MR imaging contrast agent, DOTA-Gd, respectively. Upon contacting with negatively-charged bacterial surfaces, the formation of electrostatic complexes will restrict the intramolecular rotation of TPE cores and tumbling mobility of anchored Gd moieties, thus leading to synergistic fluorescence emission turn-on and MR longitudinal relaxation rate enhancement. Furthermore, the star copolymers possess built-in antibacterial activities against both Gram-negative (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria strains (Scheme 1). By combining atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and successive post-modification reactions, well-defined fourarm star-shaped copolymers, TPE-star-P (DMA-co-BMA-co-Gd), were synthesized at first (Scheme S1).[15] Alkynyl-terminated
