DOI: 10.1039/d4cc04270k

Abstract: Twitching motility in A. nosocomialis is a key virulence factor linked to antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity. This study revealed that the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) and hydroxy-containing quinolones significantly inhibit motility without affecting bacterial growth,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00390-24

Abstract: ABSTRACT Twitching motility is a form of bacterial surface translocation powered by the type IV pilus (T4P). It is frequently analyzed by interstitial colony expansion between agar and the polystyrene surfaces of petri dishes. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010440

Abstract: The gram-negative bacterium Kingella kingae is a leading cause of osteoarticular infections in young children and initiates infection by colonizing the oropharynx. Adherence to respiratory epithelial cells represents an initial step in the process of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2016.02157

Abstract: Twitching motility is a mode of surface translocation that is mediated by the extension and retraction of type IV pili and which, depending on the conditions, enables migration of individual cells or can manifest as… read more here.
