Abstract excerpt
The flagellar system of Helicobacter pylori, which comprises more than 40 mostly unclustered genes, is essential for colonization of the human stomach mucosa. In order to elucidate the complex transcriptional circuitry of flagellar biosynthesis in H. pylori and its link to other cell functions, mutants in regulatory genes governing flagellar biosynthesis (rpoN, flgR, flhA, flhF, HP0244) and whole-genome...
