A fluorescence technique to investigate the interactions between bacterial membranes and an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen-decorated AMP (TPE-AMP) was reported. Our simple and fast method consists of mixing TPE-AMP and bacterial suspensions and recording the fluorescence signals by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy in a "non-washing" manner.
