A simple kinematic model for the trajectories of Listeria monocytogenes is generalized to a dynamical system rich enough to exhibit the resonant Hopf bifurcation structure of excitable media and simple enough to be studied geometrically. It is shown how the effectiveness of the L. monocytogenes model is an instance of a more general phenomenon in aggregate systems exhibited by the chemical agents propelling the bacteria .
