In order to counter this, many bacteria are equipped with genes encoding enzymes such as multicopper oxidase that allow them to grow inside macrophages (Wolschendorf et al. 2011; Rowland and Niederweis 2013).
For many species of bacteria, counter clockwise rotation of the flagellum propels the cell forward in a smooth, straight trajectory, and clockwise rotation causes the cell to tumble and reorient (Berg and Brown, 1972) or, in the case of the cell with a unipolar flagellum, to reverse and then reorient (Wadhams and Armitage, 2004; Xie et al., 2011; Qian et al., 2013).
