Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 twitching motility

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an antibiotic resistant bacterium that causes hospital-related infections, especially in people with bad burns, in intensive care units, and people with the disease cystic fibrosis. This movie shows how it can quickly spread across surfaces in a matter of minutes. This movie consists of 150 frames captured over a 10 minute window (15 frames per minute). The movie was then recorded at 5 frames per second to show the motility of the bacteria. They are using their type IV pili to mo
