An antibody‐conjugated nanotechnology‐driven approach to track and destroy Salmonella typhimurium bacteria is presented in the Full Paper by P. C. Ray et al. on page 5600 ff. This article demonstrates a label‐free, highly selective, colorimetric assay for monitoring and killing bacterial cells by using nanomaterial‐based localized heating by NIR irradiation. Since the prevalence of multiple‐drug‐resistant bacteria is on the rise, it may be the next avenue for exploration.
