This study identifies FliO as a nearly ubiquitous and ancestral core component of the bacterial flagellar type III secretion system, showing structural diversity and functional repurposing across bacterial species.

The paper determines the in situ structure of a high-torque bacterial flagellar motor using cryogenic electron microscopy, revealing protein adaptations and universal principles of torque generation.

This study identifies a small protein, PflE, essential for flagellar assembly and virulence in Campylobacter jejuni by using transposon sequencing in a humanized tissue model.

The paper investigates the function of a large periplasmic disk in Campylobacter jejuni flagella, showing it facilitates motility and autoagglutination by bracing the motor during filament disentanglement.

This paper investigates how Salmonella regulates L-tartrate metabolism during infection by integrating substrate availability and electron acceptor cues.
