Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter jejuni 81116 has two genes coding for flagellin, flaA and flaB. Fully motile wild-type C. jejuni bacteria express the flaA gene, with no flaB message being detected. A nonmotile flaA flaB+ mutant, R1, produced detectable levels of flagellin B which was incorporated into truncated flagella. After R1 had invaded INT-407 cells, a variant with increased motility, R1-V2, was isolated. R1-V2 produced...
