Description
Summary:Detection of pathogenic Escherichia coli is of the utmost importance in the food industry, water and environmental quality control, and clinical diagnosis for health and safety reasons. In their Full Paper on page 2289 ff., H. Liu et al. describe glycopolymers, with the use of poly(ethylene glycol), as glycoside‐tethered spacers that offer the sensitive detection of E. coli , as a result of the significantly reduced steric binding hindrance of the polymeric carbohydrates to the bacterial pili. magnified image
