Frontispiece: Inhibitors of Bacterial Swarming Behavior

Controlling bacterial swarming motility is of major interest for targeting infectious diseases and to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating bacterial motility. A great diversity of swarming inhibitors with highly different modes of action has been reported. In their Review article on page 964 ff., T. Böttcher and S. Rütschlin highlight the structural space of swarming inhibitors combined with common mechanistic concepts.
