Description
Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the
cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated processes
such as colonization. There are different bacterial motility types, and their expression is highly
regulated by the environmental conditions. Because of this, methods for studying motility under
realistic experimental conditions are required. A wide variety of approaches have been developed to
study bacterial motility. Here, we present the most common techniques and recent advances and
discuss their strengths as well as their limitations. We classify them as macroscopic or microscopic
and highlight the advantages of three-dimensional imaging in microscopic approaches. Lastly,
we discuss methods suited for studying motility in bacterial–host interactions, including the use of
the zebrafish model.
