Spinning tails: homologies among bacterial flagellar systems
Trends Microbiol.
1996 Jun.
Abstract
The bacterial flagellum is a magnificent motion machine that guides the cell in directions dictated by diverse sensory signals. This article reviews the structure and function of this organelle in the context of bacterial variety, and examines a tantalizing connection between motility and virulence that appears to be emerging.
