Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Analyzing bacterial motility is important for understanding the biology of bacteria and has significant clinical implications. Researchers have now developed free software to analyze complex patterns ...

Biophysicists have been able to directly study the way bacteria move on surfaces, revealing a molecular machinery reminiscent of motor reflexes. Do bacteria control their "walks" like we do? It might ...

A well-known 'superbug' which was thought to have been a static or non-motile organism has been observed showing signs of active motility by scientists. A well-known 'superbug' which was thought to ...
