Clicking bugs : Metabolically active Gram‐negative bacteria can specifically incorporate an azide‐modified analogue of 3‐deoxy‐ D ‐manno‐octulosonic acid ( 1 ; see scheme) into the lipopolysaccharides on their membranes. This process adds a bioorthogonal chemical reporter onto the cell surface and allows the rapid fluorescent labeling of viable cells by click chemistry.
