Genetic analysis of Escherichia coli biofilm formation: roles of flagella, motility, chemotaxis and type I pili

Molecular Microbiology, 1998
We have used Escherichia coli as a model system to investigate the initiation of biofilm formation. Here, we demonstrate that E. coli forms biofilms on multiple abiotic surfaces in a nutrient‐dependent fashion.

Type IV pili and twitching motility.

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2002
Twitching motility is a flagella-independent form of bacterial translocation over moist surfaces. It occurs by the extension, tethering, and then retraction of polar type IV pili, which operate in a manner similar to a grappling hook.

Evaluation of gastrointestinal motility with MRI: Advances, challenges and opportunities

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2018
Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of gastrointestinal motility has developed rapidly over the past few years. The non‐invasive and non‐ionizing character of MRI is an important advantage together with the fact that it is fast and can visualize the

Electroacupuncture treatments for gut motility disorders

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2018
Functional gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are common and there are patients who are refractory to medical therapies as not all treatments work in all patients.

Vagal tone: effects on sensitivity, motility, and inflammation

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2016
The vagus nerve (VN) is a key element of the autonomic nervous system. As a mixed nerve, the VN contributes to the bidirectional interactions between the brain and the gut, i.e., the brain‐gut axis.
