The structure of the Vibrio alginolyticus flagellar filament suggests molecular mechanism for the rotation of sheathed flagella

2025-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> In several pathogenic bacteria, including <italic>Vibrio</italic> species, the filament of the bacterial flagellum is encased by a membranous sheath, an extension of the bacterial outer membrane. It has been proposed that having sheathed flagella permit bacteria to evade an immune response against flagellar components, suggesting a role in virulence. However, the molecular details o...
