Cloning and genetic characterization of a <i>Hellcobacter pylori</i> flagellin gene

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori produces polar sheathed flagella, which are believed to be essential for the bacterial colonization of the human gastric mucosa. Here we report on the cloning and genetic characterization of a H. pylori gene encoding the subunit of the flagellar filament, the flagellin. Screening of a genomic library of H. pylori with an oligonucleotide probe derived from the N-terminal amino acid sequence of...
