Statistics of pathogenic bacteria in the search of host cells
Chemotaxis may generally be thought to determine bacterial virulence and identification of appropriate host cells. Here, Otte, Ipiña et al. show that if this process is studied in vitro, purely mechanistic random search strategies must be included to explain the experimental results.
