Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge in the field and threat to human life. Many patients are suffering from cancer, infection and other diseases simultaneously. Therefore, early detection of infection can lead to treatment of these patients with an appropriate antibiotic. Hence, the development of a specific imaging molecule can increase the speed of infection analysis and thereby application of proper antibiotic. The present work involves the optimization of labelling conditions for an antibiotic of cephalosporin family, cephradine with technetium-99m (99mTc) and establishment of quality control tests. Labelling of cephradine was also determined by applying MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Evaluation of in vitro binding with S. aureus bacteria was carried out. Animal model was used to conduct in vivo binding studies. For this, infected animals were injected with the radiolabelled ligand and images were captured by Gamma camera, to observe target to non-target uptake of radiolabelled complex. Furthermore, we optimized various parameters to achieve best labelling efficacy and stability of cephradine. Our results show that cephradine can be used as potential infection imaging agent for advanced clinical care.
