Time window of antibiotic administration is a critical but long‐neglected point in the treatment of bacterial infection, as unnecessary prolonged antibiotics are increasingly causing catastrophic drug‐resistance. Here, a second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) fluorescence imaging strategy based on lead sulfi...
