Bacterialadhesion to the glycocalyx of human host cells is of biological and medicinal importance. This process is often initiated by the interaction of bacterial lectins and specific carbohydrateligands. Thus, adhesion of bacterial cells to glycosylatedsurfaces is a suitable model system to study various parameters of lectin-mediated carbohydrate recognition. Glycoarrays have become important tools
