Assembly dynamics of FtsZ and DamX during infection-related filamentation and division in uropathogenic E. coli

A subset of uropathogenic Escherichia coli are able to halt division and grow into highly filamentous cells during infection of bladder epithelial cells. Here, authors aim to determine the mechanism, and understand the dynamics of cell division machinery during infection-related filamentation.
