Physical mechanisms that enable bacteria to traverse channels half their width

2025-03-10

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria colonize surfaces in the environment and can also penetrate tissues and materials by entering micro- and nanoscale cracks and pores. Staphylococcus aureus has been observed within nanoscale channels in bone that are 2-3 times smaller than cell diameter. Once inside bone, bacteria are protected from host immunity and systemic antibiotics, potentially contributing to chronic and recurrent infections. The p...
