When pseudomonas aeruginosa are exposed to damaged cells in the lungs of someone with cystic fibrosis, certain steps must occur to allow chemotaxis to occur. these steps have been most thoroughly studied in

e. coli. what steps occur in response to a chemical to allow

e. coli cells to move towards an attractant?
