Self-induced mechanical stress can trigger biofilm formation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Bacterial biofilms are an increasingly important medical problem but the mechanisms by which they develop remain largely unknown. Here, using a high-throughput approach, the authors show that biofilm formation is linked to self-imposed mechanical stress.
