title: A fantastic voyage for sliding bacteria.
abstract: A recent study showed that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium exhibits sliding motility under magnesium-limited conditions. Overall, bacteria that exhibit this passive surface movement described as sliding share few common traits. This discovery provides an opportunity to revisit and better characterize appendage-independent bacterial motility.
