摘要
We explore the use of fiber optic microendoscopy to image and quantify bacterial infection in the skin and lungs using an animal model. The contact probe fiber bundle fluorescence microendoscope has a 4 mu m resolution, a 750 mu m field of view, and a 1 mm outer diameter. Subcutaneous and intra-tracheal infections of fluorescent Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) bacteria were detected in situ from inocula down to 104 and 107 colony forming units, respectively.
