Abstract excerpt
Flagellar motility has been shown to be an essential requirement for the ability of Helicobacter pylori to colonize the gastric mucosa. While some flagellar structural components have been studied in molecular detail, nothing was known about factors that play a role in the regulation of flagellar biogenesis. We have cloned and characterized an H. pylori homolog (named flbA) of the lcrD/flbF family of genes. Many...
