A team of Emory University pathologists has discovered that non-pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract may be responsible for blocking an immune pathway that otherwise could cause ...

However, non-flagellated mutants also appear ... and drugs aimed at disrupting the vital function of the flagellum in pathogenic bacteria are also in development.

"Using the non-pathogenic Caulobacter as a model ... The rotation of the flagellum enables the bacteria to move in liquids. Much to the surprise of the researchers, the rotor is also used as ...

The interaction of probiotic surface molecules with host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and associated co-receptors plays a key part in the observed health benefits of probiotic bacteria.

New research reveals just how clever these bacterial invaders can be. Plants, like humans, have evolved sophisticated immune systems to detect pathogens ... in bacterial flagella—the whip ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin around ... infections and toxicity of some species of pathogenic bacteria. One motivation behind this ...
