Detection of bacteria in human blood within two hours is achieved through the use of vancomycin-functionalized FePt nanoparticles in combination with a vancomycin-conjugated fluorescent probe, as shown in the figure (B: bacteria; Van: vancomycin; FLA: fluorescein amine). This promises to be a sensitive and rapid protocol for detecting bacteria in blood products or other targets in biological samples.
