Regulation of Flagellum Biosynthesis in Response to Cell Envelope Stress in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium
1 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Flagellum-driven motility of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium facilitates host colonization. However, the large extracellular flagellum is also a prime target for the immune system. As consequence, expression of flagella is bistable within a population of Salmonella , resulting in flagellated and nonflagellated subpopulations. This allows the bacteria to maximize fitness in hostile environments....
