Impact of flagellar filament length on Campylobacter jejuni for colonization and flagellar-dependent phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Many bacteria produce flagella to swim and navigate through environments. Depending on the species, flagella are beneficial for other activities such as sensing surfaces to initiate biofilm development, secretion of specific proteins, and interactions with hosts to promote colonization or pathogenesis of disease. The extracellular region of the flagellum consists mostly of the filament, which is required for many...
