Abstract excerpt
Mesophilic Aeromonas spp. constitutively express a single polar flagellum that helps the bacteria move to more favorable environments and is an important virulence and colonization factor. Certain strains can also produce multiple lateral flagella in semisolid media or over surfaces. We have previously reported 16 genes (flgN to flgL) that constitute region 1 of the Aeromonas hydrophila AH-3 polar flagellum...
