Fluid forces within the body help invasive bacteria

erve as nanoscale switches that convert mechanical stimuli into a chemical response," Vogel says

The forces described in the paper are within the range of shear force found within the body.

UW's Departments of Microbiology and Bioengineering do considerable research on bacterial adhesion and biomedical devices, respectively.

"A lot of bacteria have been studied under static conditions. What this paper should alert people to is that force profoundly affects the behavior of bacteria and their ability to bind to target cells," Vogel says.
