These motility organs play important roles in DNA uptake to exchange genetic information between different bacteria, allowing what's so-called genomic plasticity. Therefore, bacterial motility organs ...

Researchers have investigated the fluid dynamics of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) moving through gastric mucus using a 3D model and a magnetic field. H. pylori uses its corkscrew-like tail to move ...

In most people, these bacteria coexist peacefully and contribute to a mutually beneficial relationship, with both human and ...

Bacteria use various appendages to move across surfaces prior to forming multicellular bacterial biofilms. Some species display a particularly jerky form of movement known as "twitching" motility, ...

According to the researchers, visualizing this at the molecular level helps further our understanding of host-pathogen interactions and contributes to the development of novel therapies for the ...
