Non-electrostatic interactions associated with aggregate formation between polyallylamine and Escherichia coli

Abstract Bacterial aggregation by mixing with polymers is applied as pretreatment to identify pathogens in patients with infectious diseases. However, the detailed interaction between polymers and bacteria has yet to be fully understood. Here, we investigate the interaction between polyallylamine an...
