Abstract

and the specific bacteria-binding ability of glycopolymers was confirmed by both bacterial aggregation experiment and QCM-D measurements. Furthermore, the synthesized glycopolymers have shown a powerful inhibitory ability which can prevent bacteria from harming cells in both anti-infection and co-culture tests.
