Reduced surface accumulation of swimming bacteria in viscoelastic polymer fluids

Surface-associated bacterial communities flourish in nature and in the body of animal hosts with abundant macromolecular polymers. It is unclear how the endowed viscoelasticity of polymeric fluids influences bacterial motile behavior in such environments. Here, we combined experiment and theory to s...
