Type IV pili-dependent gliding motility in the Gram-positive pathogen Clostridium perfringens and other Clostridia.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 2006

Varga John J, Nguyen Van, O'Brien David K, Rodgers Katherine, Walker Richard A, Melville Stephen B

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria can swim in liquid media by flagellar rotation and can move on surfaces via gliding or twitching motility. One type of gliding motility involves the extension, attachment and retraction of type IV pili (TFP), which pull the bacterium towards the site of attachment. TFP-dependent gliding...
