Delayed onset and heterogeneous collective organization characterize twitching motility in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Type IV pili (T4P) mediate twitching motility and contribute to surface colonization, biofilm formation, and host interactions in Acinetobacter baumannii . However, the prevalence, dynamics, and diversity of twitching motility across A. baumannii populations remain poorly understood. Here, we compared twitching motility in a collection of 35 A. baumannii strains originating from clinical, environmental, and ani...
