Abstract
Mechanosensing of surfaces in bacteria is a process that often uses obstruction of flagellum rotation to trigger behaviors such as adhesion and surface-associated movement. In a recent publication, the PilY1 protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been implicated as a novel mechanosensor that stimulates virulence in response to surface attachment.Entities:
