The protein network of bacterial motility [PDF]
Molecular Systems Biology, 2007 Motility is achieved in most bacterial species by the flagellar apparatus. It consists of dozens of different proteins with thousands of individual subunits.

Adhesion and bactericidal properties of nanostructured surfaces dependent on bacterial motility. [PDF]
RSC Adv, 2020 Different nanostructured surfaces have bactericidal properties that arise from the interaction between the bacteria and the nanostructured surface. In this study, we focused on the relationship between bacterial motility and bactericidal properties.

Rescue of bacterial motility using two- and three-species FliC chimeras [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyThe bacterial flagellar filament acts as a propeller to drive most bacterial swimming. The filament is made of flagellin, known as FliC in Escherichia coli.

The Tol-Pal System of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Is Responsible for Optimal Internalization Into and Aggregation Within Bladder Epithelial Cells, Colonization of the Urinary Tract of Mice, and Bacterial Motility. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2019 Urinary tracts infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a common infectious disease. With the shortage of new antimicrobial agents, the increase in UPEC resistance to commonly used drugs, such as fluoroquinolones and β-lactams ...

Chemotactic drift speed for bacterial motility pattern with two alternating turning events. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Bacterial chemotaxis is one of the most extensively studied adaptive responses in cells. Many bacteria are able to bias their apparently random motion to produce a drift in the direction of the increasing chemoattractant concentration.

Flagellated bacterial motility in polymer solutions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance The way microorganisms swim in concentrated polymer solutions has important biomedical implications, i.e., how pathogens invade the mucosal lining of mammal guts.
