By observing the bacterial flagellum, this paper proposed four types of bio-inspiration flagellum: cylindrical helix with round cross-section, conical helix with round cross-section, cylindrical helix ...

The artificial bacterial flagellum (ABF), a helical swimming microrobot, has the potential to be used for biomedical applications such as cellular and intracellular manipulation. The velocity and the ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin around to propel themselves in fluids. These movements employ protein complexes known as the "flagellar ...

Summary Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection caused by a variety of bacteria. This infection can develop after sexual contact or from certain hygiene practices like douching. Antibiotics can ...

A series of highly detailed images of the structures found in the whirling flagellum that powers a bacterium’s movement has revealed new insights about how microbes get to where they want to be. Using ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an alert to health care providers about bacterial infections as a strain of the meningococcal disease begins to circulate within the ...

The symptoms of a bacterial infection will often depend on the location of the infection in the body. However, some common general symptoms include fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Certain ...

New mechanistic insights into the protein complex that powers the bacterial flagellum may assist antibiotic development. A study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) used ...
