Nontoxic colloidal particles impede antibiotic resistance of swarming bacteria by disrupting collective motion and speed

A monolayer of swarming B. subtilis on semisolid agar is shown to display enhanced resistance against antibacterial drugs due to their collective behavior and motility. The dynamics of swarming motion, visualized in real time using time-lapse microscopy, prevents the bacteria from prolonged exposure...
