Isolated glycan binding peptide complex comprise two or more glycan binding peptides operatively coupled to each other. These are bacterial binding peptide conjugates (e.g., glycan binding peptides) to a multivalent polymer (e.g., a multivalent PEG molecule) or to the surface of particles that create multimeric constructs that inhibit growth and aggregation of microbes. Included is a method of evaluating a substance for the presence of a microbe comprising contacting the substance with a peptide microarray or a peptide complex comprising a plurality glycan binding peptide operatively coupled to a substrate or multivalent linker, wherein the glycan binding peptide is coupled to an array by a linker that is at least 0.5 micrometers in length. |
