Abstract excerpt
The flagellin subunit of the flagellar filament in Campylobacter jejuni is encoded by two highly homologous tandem genes, flaA and flaB. The flaA gene was sequenced in 18 strains of C. jejuni, including isolates from three outbreak groups. Sequences obtained were compared with flaA sequences available in the GenBank database, and all were analyzed for mosaic gene structure by using recently described statistical...
