Multiflagellarity facilitates bacterial upstream motility
Ran Tao, Nathaniel C. Esteves, Wanho Lee +8
Upstream swimming drives bacterial spreading and surface colonization. Many pathogens encounter fluid flows as they infect the intestines, lungs, and urinary tract, so how bacteria…
Elongation suppresses rheotaxis and enables microfluidic enrichment of \b{eta}-lactam-resistant bacteria
Ran Tao, Nathaniel C. Esteves, Jay Zhu +1
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) complicates the treatment of diseases including lung and urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are among the most common bacterial infections worldw…
Selective trapping of bacteria in porous media by cell length
David Gao, Zeyuan Wang, Mihika Jain +2
Bacteria commonly inhabit porous environments such as host tissues, soil, and marine sediments, where complex geometries constrain and redirect their motion. Although bacterial mot…
Enhancement of bacterial rheotaxis in non-Newtonian fluids
Bryan O. Torres Maldonado, Albane Théry, Ran Tao +3
Bacteria often exhibit upstream swimming, which can cause the contamination of biomedical devices and the infection of organs including the urethra or lungs. This process, called r…
Giant enhancement of bacterial upstream swimming in macromolecular flows
Ding Cao, Ran Tao, Albane Théry +3
Many bacteria live in natural and clinical environments with abundant macromolecular polymers. Macromolecular fluids commonly display viscoelasticity and non-Newtonian rheological…
