Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure relates to conjugates for targeting bacteria and related uses. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of transferring a molecule of interest into bacteria comprising mixing bacteria with a non-naturally occurring conjugate under conditions such that the conjugate is transported across the bacterial cell wall. Typically, the conjugate comprises an oligosaccharide and a molecule of interest. In certain embodiments, the molecule of interest may be a tracer or an antibiotic.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a positron-emitting radionuclide conjugated to maltodextrin. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the positron-emitting radionuclide is selected from carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15, fluorine-18, rubidium-82, and strontium-82. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the maltodextrin has greater than 2 glucose oligomers. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is
