Methods to Evaluate Bacterial Motility and Its Role in Bacterial–Host Interactions [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated processes such as colonization.

Bacterial motility can govern the dynamics of antibiotic resistance evolution. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Spatial heterogeneity in antibiotic concentrations is thought to accelerate the evolution of antibiotic resistance, but current theory and experiments have overlooked the effect of cell motility on bacterial adaptation. Here, we study bacterial evolution

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.

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

Engineering bacterial motility towards hydrogen-peroxide. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Synthetic biologists construct innovative genetic/biological systems to treat environmental, energy, and health problems. Many systems employ rewired cells for non-native product synthesis, while a few have employed the rewired cells as 'smart' devices ...

Type IV Pili Can Mediate Bacterial Motility within Epithelial Cells. [PDF]
mBio, 2019 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among bacterial pathogens capable of twitching motility, a form of surface-associated movement dependent on type IV pili (T4P). Previously, we showed that T4P and twitching were required for P.

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.

Surface hydrophilicity promotes bacterial twitching motility
mSphereTwitching motility is a form of bacterial surface translocation powered by the type IV pilus (T4P). It is frequently analyzed by interstitial colony expansion between agar and the polystyrene surfaces of petri dishes.
