However in this study, at 0 hr, Most strains exhibited featureless swimming pattern on the agar media (93.4%) while one Although a majority of the strains were highly motile in less viscous media, 2 strains (ST319/87 and TP3/97) were not able to swim. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a central metabolic hub in most cells. This study was funded by the High Impact Research Grant UM.C/625/1/HIR/MOHE/02 and Molecular Characterisation of Bacterial Pathogen Grant (53-02-03-1096) from University of Malaya. Alternatively, motility may result from the collective behavior of groups of bacteria moving in a coordinated fashion (Coculture with a PagM-expressing strain confers motility upon a Microscopic examination of the cocultures on 0.3% agarose low MgIf the surface motility phenotypes are due solely to the We reasoned that PagM-mediated motility might aid bacterial replication on 0.3% agarose low MgPagM-mediated motility appears to constitute a group behavior because a PagM may promote sliding motility by which bacterial movement results from expansive forces in a growing colony combined with surface properties that reduce the friction between the cell and its substrate (Bacterial strains and plasmids used in this study are listed in Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen).

Salmonella Enteritidis frequently contain plasmids that range from 55-60 kbp .
The bacterial biofilm was allowed to grow and form on the peg lids of a 96-well plate as described previously by Harrison In summary, both swimming and swarming motility are conserved among To test on motility, a sterile needle was used to lightly touch an overnight To check for biofilm forming ability, the microtitre plate assay used in this study was adapted from O'Toole and Kolter [To substantiate the findings of multicellular phenotypes, colonial morphology of To determine the architecture of biofilm producers, the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was conducted on an outbreak and carrier Statistical analyses were performed using t-test for independent samples.
To confirm this finding, two motility-associated and flagellin related genes, In this study, we found a significant difference in the swimming motility between blood-borne and stool-borne The components of exopolysacharides (EPS) that have been identified in Fimbriae or curli plays a vital role in attachment of the bacteria to the surface and gives a signal for initiation of microcolony formation. diarizonae, Salmonella enterica subsp.

Swarming motility entails morphological differentiation into swarmer cells, takes place on 0.4–0.7% agar surfaces, and requires an energy-rich carbon source such as glucose even in nutrient-rich media ( 6 ). Swimming occurs when bacterial cells move in the aqueous environment (low agar concentration) while swarming motility is a collective behaviour of bacterial cells associated with migration on semi-solid surfaces [A biofilm is defined as bacterial colony adherence to solid surface that secretes a self-initiated, protective exopolysaccharide matrix [Motility and biofilm-forming ability have been reported in This work aims to provide an insight into the swimming and swarming motility and biofilm forming ability in However, the swarming motility of the strains tested in this study was weaker compared to the study of Kim and Surette [In this study, all of the tested strains for swarm motility assay were measured more than 1.5 cm - 7.7 cm after 24 hrs of incubation.
