Molecular Cloning and Characterization of the <i>Helicobacter pylori fliD</i> Gene, an Essential Factor in Flagellar Structure and Motility
15 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori colonizes the human stomach and can cause gastroduodenal disease. Flagellar motility is regarded as a major factor in the colonizing ability of H. pylori. The functional roles of flagellar structural proteins other than FlaA, FlaB, and FlgE are not well understood. The fliD operon of H. pylori consists of flaG, fliD, and fliS genes, in the order stated, under the control of a...
