FlgY, PflA, and PflB form a spoke–ring network in the high-torque flagellar motor of Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori has evolved distinct flagellar motility to colonize the human stomach. Rotation of the H. pylori flagella is driven by one of the largest known bacterial flagellar motors. In addition to the core motor components found in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica , the flagellar motor in H. pylori possesses many accessories that enable the bacteria to penetrate the gastric mucus layer.
