This is a wonderful article: it appears that various strands are coming together particularly in respect of biofilms. The discussion is particularly good. Although the article is about kidney infections, it also has important potential implications for biofilm formation in the lungs, chronic lung disease & cystic fibrosis [since it concerns Pseudomonas motility, in vivo swarming and swimming ability etc.]. The quorum sensing / motility link is very interesting. Microbiology belongs to microbiologists but not microbial motility, which is the domain of the physics community and is highly non-intuitive, apparently. Id like to adapt this for the physics community. nature/ki/journal/v76/n3/full/ki2009183a.html
