Pseudomonas aeruginosa orchestrates twitching motility by sequential control of type IV pili movements

<p style="text-align:justify;">Prokaryotes have the ability to walk on surfaces using type IV pili (TFP), a motility mechanism known as twitching1,2. Molecular motors drive TFP extension and retraction, but whether and how these movements are coordinated is unknown3. Here, we reveal...
