抽动运动是铜绿假单胞菌和其他细菌在固体介质上表现出的一种不依赖鞭毛的表面移位方式。所有展示它的物种都有纤细的菌毛，通常是极地。只有具有可伸缩菌毛的PAO和K株铜绿假单胞菌能够以这种方式移动，而没有菌毛或无可伸缩菌毛的铜绿假单胞菌保持静止。特定的药物，如抗菌毛血清，可以防止原本有功能的菌毛回缩，也可以阻止抽搐运动。
Twitching motility is a mode of flagella-independent surface translocation exhibited by P. aeruginosa and other bacteria on solid media. All species exhibiting it carry thin pili, usually polar. Only PAO and K strains of P. aeruginosa with retractile (PSA) pili were able to move in this way, those with no pili or nonretractile pili remaining stationary. Specific agents such as anti-pilus serum, which prevents otherwise functional pili from retracting, also prevented twitching motility.
