Swashing motility: A novel propulsion-independent mechanism for surface migration in <i>Salmonella</i> and <i>E. coli</i>

2024-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial motility over surfaces is crucial for colonization, biofilm formation, and pathogenicity. Surface motility in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica is traditionally believed to rely on flagellar propulsion. Here, we report a novel mode of motility, termed “swashing,” where these bacteria migrate on agar surfaces without functional flagella. Mutants lacking flagellar filaments and motility proteins e...
