Using Deterministic Lateral Displacement devices optimized for sensitivity to particle length, we separatesubpopulations of bacteria depending on known properties that affect their capability to cau se disease(virulence). For the human bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, bacterial chain len...
