A new cationic poly(phenylene vinylene) derivative (PPV‐NMe 3 + ) is synthesized, and it exhibits a differential binding ability to microbial cell walls with different components. By varying the ion strengths of the buffer solution, single PPV‐NMe 3 + molecules can discriminate fungi, Gram‐positive bacteria, and Gram‐negative bacteria in a rapid and simple manner. Thus, cationic conjugated polymers exhibit high potential as a diagnostic material for the detection and discrimination of pathogens.
