Described herein are engineered microbe-targeting molecules, microbe-targeting articles, kits comprising the same, and uses thereof. Such microbe-targeting molecules, microbe-targeting articles, or the kits comprising the same can not only bind or capture of a microbe or microbial matter thereof, but they also have improved capability (e.g., enhanced sensitivity or signal intensity) of detecting a microbe or microbial matter. Thus, the microbe-targeting molecules, microbe-targeting articles, and/or the kit described herein can be used in various applications, e.g., but not limited to assays for detection of a microbe or microbial matter, diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents for diagnosis and/or treatment of an infection caused by microbes in a subject or any environmental surface, and/or devices for removal of a microbe or microbial matter from a fluid.
本文描述的是工程微生物靶向分子、微生物靶向物品、包含这些物质的试剂盒及其用途。这些微生物靶向分子、微生物靶向物品或包含它们的试剂盒不仅能结合或捕获微生物或微生物物质,而且还能提高检测微生物或微生物物质的能力(例如,提高灵敏度或信号强度)。因此,本文所述的微生物靶向分子、微生物靶向物品和/或试剂盒可用于各种应用,例如但不限于用于检测微生物或微生物物质的化验、用于诊断和/或治疗微生物在受试者或任何环境表面引起的感染的诊断和/或治疗剂,和/或用于从流体中清除微生物或微生物物质的装置。
