The last few decades have been plagued by viral outbreaks that present some of the biggest
challenges to public safety. The current coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic has …

The burden of Hospital care-associated infections (HCAIs) is becoming a global concern.
This is compounded by the emergence of virulent and high-risk bacterial strains such as" …

Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for
locomotion and force generation. Already, rather generic models, such as ensembles of …

Cell division can perturb the metabolic performance of industrial microbes. The C period of
cell division starts from the initiation to the termination of DNA replication, whereas the D …

Proteus mirabilis is the third most common etiological factor of urinary tract infection. It
produces urease, which contributes to the formation of a crystalline biofilm, considered to be …

Hydrodynamic interactions are fundamental for the dynamics of swimming self-propelled
particles. Specifically, bonds between microswimmers enforce permanent spatial proximity …

Active polymers are slender or chain-like self-propelled objects. Synthetic chains of self-
propelled colloidal particles are one of the examples, which provide a potential way to …

We present Brownian dynamics simulation results of a flexible linear polymer with excluded-
volume interactions under shear flow in the presence of active noise. The active noise …

We use computer simulations to investigate the complex dynamics of a polymer, made of
active Brownian particles, inside a channel grafted internally with passive polymer chains …

Proteus mirabilis, an opportunistic pathogen of the urinary tract, is known for its dimorphism
and mobility. A connection of lipid alterations, induced by the rods elongation process, with …
