Role of adhesion forces in mechanosensitive channel gating in Staphylococcus aureus adhering to surfaces

Mechanosensitive channels in bacterial membranes open or close in response to environmental changes to allow transmembrane transport, including antibiotic uptake and solute efflux. In this paper, we hypothesize that gating of mechanosensitive channels is stimulated by forces through which bacteria a...
