Facing the global health crisis caused by drug-resistant bacteria, antimicrobial peptides and their analogues offer exciting solutions to this widespread problem. Without additionally introducing a fluorescent probe, novel nanoengineered peptide-grafted hyperbranched polymers (NPGHPs) are constructed for their combined outstanding antimicrobial activity and sensitive bacterial detection in real time. Hyperbranched polyamide amine (H-PAMAM) that exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects is synthesized. Then, NPGHPs are prepared by ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acidN-carboxyanhydrides on the periphery of the H-PAMAM. The NPGHPs exhibit high-efficiency antibacterial properties against a wide spectrum of bacteria, especially against Gram-negative bacteria. On the basis of the AIE effect of NPGHPs, the interaction between NPGHPs andEscherichia coliis explored and the fluorescence intensity of NPGHPs is dependent on the number ofE. colipresent. Thus, a method for monitoringE. coliconcentration is developed, and the detection limit is 1 × 104CFU mL–1. Furthermore, NPGHPs are used as fluorescent probes to visualize antibacterial process via lighting-up bacteria. NPGHPs can penetrate the membrane of bacteria and cause cell rupture and apoptosis. In addition, the excellent selectivity of NPGHPs toward bacteria over mammalian cells makes them bright prospects for clinical applications.
