Swarming and twitching motility determined by standard assays for B_ cereus, A_ junii, A_ baumannii and P_ aeruginosa and expressed as diameter of the growth area from inoculation spot
| B. cereus | A. junii | A. baumannii | P. aeruginosa | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swarming | 82±14 mm | N/A | N/A | 16±7 mm |
| Twitching | N/A | 35±12 mm | 45±14 mm | 51±9 mm |
Experimental combinations performed in order to explain the migration of bacterial cells up the glass slide
