The McCutcheon index or chemotactic ratio is the ratio of the net displacement of a bacterium to the length of its actual path.^[1]^[2]

{\text{McCutcheon index}}={{\text{Displacement}} \over {\text{Distance}}}.

It is named after Morton McCutcheon who introduced it to describe chemotaxis in leukocytes.
