#Haemolysis data indicates that #disruption of host cell #membranes by rotating #flagella is physically possible, despite what previously published measurements with firing gold nanobeads at tissue cultures tells us.

But what if #flagella did penetrate host cell #membranes? What might that mean?
Well, in vitro at least, #Ecoli and #Salmonella #flagella can enhance #actin #polymerization rates. Interactions with #Cofilin-1 (CFL) had an additive effect...
8 years since the first manuscript draft but it's finally here!

Jo Elvidge and I were looking at the role of #flagella in early infection of #Salmonella and #Ecoli in relevant animal tissue models (🐖🐄)
We spotted what looked like very intimate adherence...

It was a toughie to quantify back then with the tools we had, but every time we looked, we saw it 🤓
It’s out! Our paper “Marine Sediments Illuminate Chlamydiae Diversity and Evolution” was published in @CurrentBiology today! Below a thread with major highlights 1/11

In short: Phylogenetically diverse new lineages of #Chlamydiae (a bacterial phylum which includes the pathogen #Chlamydia) are abundant and active in deep #anoxic #marine #sediments taken from near Loki’s Castle #hydrothermal vent field 3/11
