We have studied the nanomechanical properties of the cell envelope down to the molecular level of Bordetella Pertussis, a pathogenic bacteria responsible of whooping cough, a highly infectious disease. A relationship between stiffness and adhesin clusters was established. Antibiotic-effect on individual and grouped bacteria was followed by topographic and nanomechanical properties and the beneficial effect of consortiums to resist different therapeutic strategies was examined.
