Proteus mirabilis, a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium most noted for its swarming
motility and urease activity, frequently causes catheter-associated urinary tract infections …

Motility often plays a decisive role in the survival of species. Five systems of motility have
been studied in depth: those propelled by bacterial flagella, eukaryotic actin polymerization …

In Decolonizing Extinction Juno Salazar Parreñas ethnographically traces the ways in which
colonialism, decolonization, and indigeneity shape relations that form more-than-human …

Beneficial rhizobacteria promote plant growth and protect plants against phytopathogens.
Effective colonization on plant roots is critical for the rhizobacteria to exert beneficial …

The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa effectively colonizes host
epithelia using pili as primary adhesins. Here we uncover a surface-specific asymmetric …

Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over
surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point …

Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are
urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of …

Abstract Development of microbial communities is a complex multiscale phenomenon with
wide-ranging biomedical and ecological implications. How biological and physical …

Genome annotation is, nowadays, performed via automatic pipelines that cannot
discriminate between right and wrong annotations. Given their importance in increasing the …

All living cells sense and respond to changes in external or internal conditions. Without that
cognitive capacity, they could not obtain nutrition essential for growth, survive inevitable …
