This study quantifies the cost-benefit trade-off of peritrichous flagellation in Salmonella enterica, showing that increased flagellation reduces growth rate but enhances motility and competitive fitness in structured environments.

BactoMate provides a unified platform for reproducible bacterial microscopy analysis, integrating multiple steps into a single workflow with user-configurable parameters.

This study shows FliI ATPase is essential for switching substrate specificity and late-stage flagellar assembly in Salmonella, despite being dispensable for early export.
