Abstract: Rotation of a helical cell body and mobility of cell-surface adhesins result in surface motility of the spirochete Leptospira. Many species of bacteria are motile, but their migration mechanisms are considerably diverse. Whatever mechanism is… read more here.

Abstract: If a bacterium has motility, it will use the ability to survive and thrive. For many pathogenic species, their motilities are a crucial virulence factor. The form of motility varies among the species. Some use… read more here.
