In page 2312 of the paper as well as in the conclusion (page 2314) we make a comparison of relative inhibition potency (RIP) values obtained for our functionalized nanodiamonds (RIP = 10 000) with RIPs described for glycofullerenes (RIP = 3).⁵⁸ As the RIPs in the two cases were calculated using alternative reference molecules and alternative assays the comparison is misleading.

Nevertheless the finding that the newly reported glyconanodiamonds inhibit strongly both bacterial adhesion to biotic as well as abiotic surfaces is indeed unprecedented for mannose functionalized-nanoparticles directed against E. coli.

Thus the newly fabricated mannose-modified NDs are seen to show a very marked inhibitory activity of bacterial binding to either human or yeast cells and significantly better than those measured for other mannose-functionalized multivalent NPs such as those based on either gold (RIP of ca. 20)²⁰ or fullerenes (RIP of ca. 3).⁵⁸

The potencies observed for the ND-mannose particles with RIPs of as high as 1003 (yeast agglutination assay) and 9259 (bladder cell adhesion assay), contrast dramatically with those reported for alternate mannose-functionalized NPs, such as those derived from gold (RIP of ca. 20) or fullerene (RIP of ca. 3).^20,58
