The bacterial flagellum is an amazingly complex molecular machine with a diversity of roles
in pathogenesis including reaching the optimal host site, colonization or invasion …

Over the past decade, the genus Aeromonas has undergone a number of significant
changes of practical importance to clinical microbiologists and scientists alike. In parallel …

The role of bacterial surface components in combination with bacterial functional signals in
the process of biofilm formation has been increasingly studied in recent years. Plants …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that live attached to surfaces. Biofilm formation
has received much attention in the last decade, as it has become clear that virtually all types …

The bacterial flagellum is a complex and dynamic nanomachine that propels bacteria
through liquids. It consists of a basal body, a hook, and a long filament. The flagellar filament …

In recent decades, many researchers have written numerous articles about microbial
biofilms. Biofilm is a complex community of microorganisms and an example of bacterial …

The microaerophilic human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of food-
borne bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. During transmission through the food …

Bacterial colonization of biotic or abiotic surfaces results from two quite distinct physiological
processes, namely bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Broadly speaking, a biofilm is …

Bacillus cereus is a food-borne pathogen and a frequent contaminant of food production
plants. The persistence of this pathogen in various environments results from the formation …

Movement over an agar surface via swarming motility is subject to formidable challenges not
encountered during swimming. Bacteria display a great deal of flexibility in coping with these …
