Physics of microswimmers—single particle motion and collective behavior: a review (2014, background): “. 1 Salmonella swim by a bundle of rotating helical agella. From Brennen and Winet (1977). Bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella swim in a \runand-tumble" motion illustrated in Fig. 3(Berg, 2004; Hyon et al., 2012; Macnab, 1977; Turner et al., 2000). In the \run" phase (stage 1 in Fig. 3), ”
Bacterial hydrodynamics (2015, background): “The resulting motion of a bacterium in a fluid consists thus of flagellar filaments rotating, the cell body counter-rotating, and the whole cell moving forward approximately in a straight line, or in helices of small amplitude when the axis of the filaments is not aligned with that of the cell body ”
