Twitching motility is a form of motility associated with many bacteria that possess T4P, and some of these bacteria are ...

The gliding motility of individual bacterial cells has been a deep mystery so far. Recent results provide the first molecular-level insights into the mechanism of this process.

Such tools could help scientists study bacterial motility and coordination in confined environments, providing a better ...

FipA is a novel component required for bacteria that rely on FlhF/FlhG to properly localize their flagella to the cell pole.

The study published today in Nature Microbiology represents a significant advancement in the creation of novel therapies that alter bacterial motility to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics.

The results of motility agar are often difficult to interpret. Generally, if the entire tube is turbid, this indicates that the bacteria have moved away from the stab mark (are motile). The organisms ...

How do bacteria coordinate their motility within densely packed biofilms? Many bacterial infections are caused by densely packed collections of bacteria called biofilms, which spread along surfaces ...

and was later adapted for testing antibiotics susceptibility and to study virulence factors and motility of bacteria. Over time, the sensitivity and reproducibility of the technique has been improved.
