Abstract
We developed an atomic force microscopy (AFM) method to determine the binding forces between a model cell wall plasma membrane and Vibrio cholerae. V. cholerae cells were covalently attached to AFM probes and forces were determined against a lipid bilayer containing sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid) molecules as well as several control surfaces.
