mirabilis uses swarming motility to migrate across the catheter ... Figure 1: Ascending urinary tract infection and Proteus mirabilis virulence factors. Figure 2: The mannose-resistant Proteus ...

Swarming motility is operationally defined as multicellular, flagella-mediated surface migration of bacteria. Swarming requires intercellular interactions, surfactant secretion and an increase in ...

A biological chemistry working group has decoded a molecular mechanism that inhibits the swarming motility of bacterial populations. In nature, bacteria occur mostly in multi-cellular collectives ...
