Motility is required for the competitive fitness of entomopathogenic <it>Photorhabdus luminescens </it>during insect infection
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Photorhabdus </it>are motile members of the family Enterobactericeae that are pathogenic to insect larvae whilst also maintaining a mutualistic interaction with entomophagous nematodes of the family Heterorhabditiae....
