Abstract

Bacterial galvanotaxis, the directed migration in response to electric fields, remains an understudied yet intriguing phenomenon. This forum explores its history, independence from chemotaxis, and role in Salmonella targeting the follicle-associated epithelium. We also highlight potential implications in chronic diseases, where disrupted bioelectric fields may promote bacterial invasion and pathogenesis.

细菌原流性：一个被忽视的生物过程。

细菌的流性，即响应电场的定向迁移，仍然是一个未被充分研究但有趣的现象。本次论坛探讨其历史，独立于趋化性，并在沙门氏菌靶向卵泡相关上皮中的作用。我们还强调了慢性疾病的潜在影响，其中破坏的生物电场可能促进细菌入侵和发病机制。
