Abstract
Diagnostics and treatments for bacterial infection are disclosed. The treatments prevent bacteria from adhering to host cells by interfering with the binding of the bacteria to cell receptors. Compounds that inhibit bacterial adherence to cells are engineered to be readily modified for best efficacy with different modes of treatment. The compounds can be readily modified for use to identify bacteria according to their cell binding specificities.
