Flagellum-Mediated Mechanosensing and RflP Control Motility State of Pathogenic Escherichia coli
Flagella and motility are widespread virulence factors among pathogenic bacteria. Motility enhances the initial host colonization, but the flagellum is a major antigen targeted by the host immune system. Here, we demonstrate that pathogenic E. coli strains employ a mechanosensory function of the fla...
