Two new studies uncover unexpected ways that microbes move, offering insights that could impact our understanding of human ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella—the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria form ...

Their specificity for the host is partly achieved by specific host adhesion mechanisms. As adhesins are required for the first step of colonization, they also constitute key virulence factors and have ...
