Background:

Development of sensitive and rapid detection methods for bacterial contamination is crucial for public health.
Fluorescent nanoparticles offer potential for enhanced visualization and detection of microorganisms.
Hyperbranched polymers possess unique structural properties beneficial for nanoparticle design.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and characterize a novel water-soluble, biodegradable, and fluorescent hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) (M-HPAMAM) functionalized with mannose groups.
To investigate the interaction of M-HPAMAM with bacteria, specifically E. coli.
To evaluate the potential of M-HPAMAM as a fluorescent probe for bacterial detection.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of M-HPAMAM via Michael addition polymerization of diacrylamide and 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, followed by surface modification with mannosamine.
Characterization of M-HPAMAM's photoluminescence properties.
Incubation of E. coli with M-HPAMAM and observation of bacterial clustering and fluorescence.
Determination of the detection limit for E. coli using M-HPAMAM.

Main Results:

Successfully synthesized water-soluble, biodegradable, and fluorescent M-HPAMAM.
Demonstrated enhanced photoluminescence of M-HPAMAM due to surface mannose groups.
Observed bright fluorescence in E. coli clusters upon incubation with M-HPAMAM, with reduced solution fluorescence.
Indicated strong polyvalent interaction between M-HPAMAM and bacteria.
Established a detection limit for E. coli higher than 10^2 cfu/mL based on cluster formation.

Conclusions:

M-HPAMAM is a promising fluorescent probe for bacterial detection.
The mannose groups facilitate strong polyvalent interactions with bacteria, leading to cluster formation.
The developed M-HPAMAM system allows for sensitive detection of E. coli concentrations.
