Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is a human gastric pathogen which is dependent on motility for infection. The H. pylori genome encodes a near-complete complement of flagellar proteins compared to model enteric bacteria. One of the few flagellar genes not annotated in H. pylori is that encoding FliK, a hook length control protein whose absence leads to a polyhook phenotype in Salmonella enterica. We investigated the role of...
