A BIODEGRADABLE AND FLUORESCENT HYPERBRACHED POLYMER USED FOR RAPID DETECTION OF BACTERIA

摘要

@@Pathogen contamination in water and food constitutes a potential risk to human health and possibly leads to infection outbreaks. Traditional methods for detection of pathogen such as plating and culturing are time-consuming (generally several days), thus finding feasible methods for rapid and efficient detection of pathogens attracted more and more attention,1-3 and the basic principle for the detection is based on the fluorescent intensity changes of the measured samples. Here we reported a simple method for rapid pathogen detection based on a novel fluorescent and biocompatible hyperbrached poly (amidoamine)s (HPAMAMs).
