ABSTRACT Swarmer cells of the Gram-negative uropathogenic bacteria Proteus mirabilis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus become long (>10 to 100 μm) and multinucleate during their growth and motility on polymer surfaces. We demonstrated that the increasing cell length is accompanied by a large increase i...
