The impact of the flagellar protein gene fliK on Helicobacter pylori biofilm formation
21 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The biofilm structure of Helicobacter pylori is known to enhance its capabilities for antimicrobial resistance. This study aims to investigate the role of the flagellar hook length control protein gene fliK in the biofilm formation of H. pylori . Homologous recombination was employed to knock out the fliK gene in the H. pylori NCTC 11637 strain. The flagella of H. pylori were observed using transmission...
