title: Multifunctional nanoprobes for pathogen-selective capture and detection.
abstract: The synthesis of magnetic and fluorescent particles is described. The particles are biofunctionalized by binding pathogen-specific proteins to the particles via interactions between His-tags of proteins and zinc of the quantum dots. Detection of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by these particles is demonstrated.
