Allylamine-Conjugated Polyacrylic Acid and Gold Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Bacteria

The increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to the pharmaceutical compound could be a very important issue for public health. A sensitive, fast and accurate approaches for bacteria detection are going to be needed to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. This study aimed to develop a colorimetric sensor based on allylamine-conjugated polyacrylic acid and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs- AAm-PAA) for bacteria detection. Allylamine was conjugated...
